Today marks the first day of the 2008 Petit LeMans Race in Atlanta, GA. A day to get settled in and a day filled with test laps. Alldaron, VP Debaufre, traveled to Atlanta to meet with Jeff Altenburg and the team of DRC Motorsports. Debaufre Watches is an official sponsor of DRC Motorsports and Jeff Altenburg. Alldaron presented the entire team with Debaufre Le Mans watches, much to the surprise of the team members. Alldaron received an all-access pass for the speedway and emailed us some photos and short videos taken at the track during a test lap pit stop (notice the Debaufre crest on the car’s hood).

Over $2,000 was raised for the Toys For Tots fund raiser through the combined efforts of the Poor-Mans-Watch-Forum and Debaufre Watches. In this year's PMWF raffle, we donated any production watch to the winner of the raffle contest to benefit the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, which of course donates toys as Christmas gifts to needy children throughout the US.

As quoted from the PMWF website: "In addition to the monthly contests for October, November & December, the fine, generous folks at Debaufre have made an additional offer in an effort to give something back to the community this holiday season. You get to choose the watch you want from Debaufre's regular product line." This year was a great success, we are glad we could help.
