NASCAR’s Natalie Decker Hosts Silent Auction of Autographed Items at Oktoberfest Race Weekend to Benefit the Arthritis Foundation

(La Crosse, WI – Oct. 7, 2021) – Eagle River’s very own NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Natalie Decker, will be hosting a silent auction fundraiser for the Arthritis Foundation at the Oktoberfest Race Weekend in La Crosse, WI, Oct. 7 – 10. Featured items include Autographed Natalie Decker Race Helmet Shield, Race Shoes, Arthritis Foundation Die-Cast Truck as well as a 7-Night Stay at an Air B&B in Eagle River. Proceeds from the Silent Auction will benefit Decker’s Arthritis Foundation Wisconsin’s Jingle Bell Run Camp M.A.S.H. (Make Arthritis Stop Hurting) Candy Canes team. The Jingle Bell Run raises funds for Arthritis Foundation Wisconsin’s programs and initiatives such as Camp M.A.S.H., a 6-night camp in Wisconsin Dells for children with juvenile arthritis.

Decker, who suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis that began as Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) at birth, hopes her silent auction will help her JBR team reach their $15,000 goal.

"I am so excited to be a part of the Oktoberfest Race Weekend in my home state as a first time Team Owner with Derek Lemke driving the super late. I am super excited to get back into the Midwest Trucks with Marthaler as I grew up racing that series and those trucks are so fun to drive.,” said Decker. “I hope that my silent auction at the event will not only help my Jingle Bell Run team reach our fundraising goal, but also raise awareness for all those—young and old—suffering with arthritis.”

You can watch Decker race on Saturday of Race Weekend, however her silent auction will be open Friday, Oct. 8 through the beginning of the last race on Sunday, Oct. 10. The auction will be located outside the Expo Hall by main entrance to grandstands.
