Ray and Jodi M. Flew in from California!

Posted on March 4, 2024 by Nicole Smith in What's New

Ray and Jodi M. go way back with Factory Five Racing, finding joy in their Mk2 Roadster and supporting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Seeing them was a great surprise because they came all the way from sunny Southern California! This power couple is dedicated to making a difference. Ray, a 2012 Factory Five Racing Legacy Award winner, seamlessly balances tinkering on his Mk2 Roadster and traveling with unwavering fundraising efforts. The Factory Five community’s impact in combating this disease is undeniable.

Ray selflessly donates proceeds from car part sales to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, collectively making a significant impact over the years. His dedication to “Team Jenny” has had a hand in extending many lives, and persists until CF stands for “Cure Found.”

A heartfelt thank you to this exceptional community and individuals like Ray and Jodi, not only for driving iconic cars but also for driving change with their selfless contributions to the community. Excited to witness the positive impact Ray and Jodi continue to create!
