We’ve put together some tips for raising veteran suicide awareness while rooting for Linus Lundqvist, Alex Palou and Chip Ganassi Racing during the upcoming NTT INDYCAR SERIES.
With the exposure that Be the One has received through The American Legion’s sponsorship of Chip Ganassi Racing’s American Legion Honda, the 2024 NTT INDYCAR SERIES is a perfect opportunity to bring Be the One into your post – and your community – by hosting an INDYCAR watch party.
This season, INDYCAR rookie Linus Lundqvist is behind the wheel of the No. 8 Honda – which prominently features The American Legion and Be the One branding on its livery – for most of the 2024 season. And defending INDYCAR SERIES champion Alex Palou also will carry American Legion branding on his No. 10 DHL Honda, so there will be plenty of opportunities to invite fellow American Legion Family members and other racing enthusiasts to the post and cheer on the American Legion drivers.
Once there, they can relax and enjoy watching the race – while also learning more about Be the One. It’s an opportunity to share information about the Legion’s veteran suicide prevention mission in a relaxed social setting.
We’ve put together some tips for hosting an INDYCAR watch party at your post, including choosing a race from the 2024 INDYCAR SERIES, links to resources and a sample press release to promote the event, and some suggested talking points about why the Be the One mission is so important.
And remember, we’ve created additional resources to assist your post’s American Legion Family efforts to promote be the one. You can find those here.
Whatever the format of your Be the One event, we want to know about it. Please share your stories and photos at www.legiontown.org under the Be the One category.
