MOORESVILLE, N.C., Nov. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Rick Ware Racing
(RWR) has joined forces once again with Nine Line Apparel and
Biohaven Pharmaceuticals' Nurtec® ODT (rimegepant) to pay tribute
and honor the upcoming 80th Anniversary of the Attack on
Pearl Harbor this weekend at
Phoenix Raceway for the season finale.
The special paint scheme of the Nurtec ODT 51 car depicts a
special tribute to the 80th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 2021. One hundred percent of the
proceeds from the Nine Line Apparel Remembering 80 Years of Infamy
T-shirt will be donated directly to Best Defense Foundation, to
help send sixty World War II veterans to Hawaii next month for a week-long ceremony
honoring those who lost their lives, and those who defended the
front lines when our country needed it the most.
"Throughout the year we have been honored to give back to the
men and women in uniform, as well as honor those who have served
our country and paid the ultimate sacrifice," commented team owner
Rick Ware. "Having great partners
like Nurtec ODT and Nine Line Apparel who continue to drive the
importance of our military and those who have served is humbling.
Paying tribute to the 80th Anniversary Attack on Pearl Harbor and honoring those who tragically
lost their lives that day is an important and special way to close
out the 2021 NASCAR season and our Military Salutes program."
"We have seen firsthand the impact migraine has on our active
duty service members, veterans and their families. Through this
sponsorship of the Rick Ware Racing team, we have been able to
raise awareness of this debilitating disease and how relief may be
available with Nurtec ODT. It is important to us as a company to
support people with migraine and those who have dedicated their
lives for the greater good. We salute the World War II veterans and
the sacrifices they and their families have made," said
Graham Goodrich, Senior Vice
President of Marketing, Biohaven Pharmaceuticals.
"We couldn't be more honored to partner again with Rick Ware
Racing and Nurtec ODT to support our nation's veterans," said
Rich Caponi, Chief Revenue Officer
at Nine Line Apparel. "Being able to support the Best Defense
Foundation's initiative to get these WWII heroes back to
Pearl Harbor to remember, honor,
and bring closure is something that we are humbled and proud to be
a part of."
The Best Defense Foundation was founded in 2018 by former NFL
Linebacker, Donnie Edwards. The
Foundation honors and celebrates our veterans from past conflicts,
including, WWII, Korea, Vietnam
and those who have recently retired. As a monumental anniversary
approaches in December, The Best Defense Foundation is scheduled to
bring sixty World War II veterans back to Pearl Harbor for a "Day That Shall Remain in
Infamy." The veterans will depart from Dallas, Texas on December 3rd, and participate in a four-day event
that will conclude in a special ceremony on December 7th. Through the Foundation, all
expenses will be paid, including airfare and travel accommodations
for both the veterans and their caregivers.
"We are honored to bring veterans back to their battlefields to
rekindle the brotherhood and provide closure on such an
important time for themselves and the world. Our programs are 100%
for the veterans and we pride ourselves on quality programs to
fulfill our mission of taking care of the ones who took
care of us," commented Donnie
Edwards, Executive Director of Best Defense Foundation.
In addition to Rick Ware Racing's participation in next month's
events in Hawaii, the No. 51 car
will be present in The Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade, that is
produced by Historic Programs and has been designated as one
of "America's Living Memorials." This annual Parade commemorates
the Anniversary of the Attack on Pearl
Harbor by Saluting our Veterans, their families and active
military members, while remembering and honoring those who lost
their lives 80 years ago. Historic Programs produces truly
meaningful events by uniting generations of Americans - bringing
our young students to the places where history was made to pay
tribute and learn directly from our history makers. These programs
will educate, honor and inspire Americans for generations to
come.
The season finale at Phoenix Raceway is set for November 7th and will be televised live on NBC.

About Best Defense Foundation
What began as a simple
conversation during a chance meeting with a WWII veteran has turned
into Donnie's life mission. Inspired by stories from his
grandfather, a Pearl Harbor
survivor, Donnie has worked tirelessly to take WWII veterans back
to the battlefields where they served.
To date, the Foundation has taken over 100 WWII veterans on
battlefield return programs to remember their fallen comrades and
gain closure of a time in their life that had an impact on the
world. Through our Battlefield Return programs, WWII veterans
travel all over the world including to Normandy, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Pearl
Harbor, Iwo Jima, Guam,
Saipan, and Tinian for commemorations.
In addition to the Battlefield Return Program, the Foundation
created a Transition Program to help retired Special Forces
operators return to civilian life and connect with the community
around them. Utilizing Donnie's NFL network, we bring the
professional athlete world together with special forces to help
each other grow.
Finally, the last mission of the Best Defense Foundation is to
educate future generations about the heroism and sacrifices of
those who have served through the preservation of their stories. To
date, we have interviewed over 200 WWII veterans with a video
archive of more than 2000 hours of first hand accounts of the
history that is taught today. Our Education Initiative
curates a curriculum from this media content and uses it to
preserve the legacy of those who sacrificed for us.
About NURTEC ODT
NURTEC ODT (rimegepant) is the first
and only calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist
available in a quick-dissolve ODT formulation that is approved by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the acute
treatment of migraine with or without aura and the preventive
treatment of episodic migraine in adults. The activity of the
neuropeptide CGRP is thought to play a causal role in migraine
pathophysiology. NURTEC ODT is a CGRP receptor antagonist that
works by reversibly blocking CGRP receptors, thereby inhibiting the
biologic activity of the CGRP neuropeptide. The recommended dose of
NURTEC ODT is 75 mg, taken as needed, up to once daily to treat or
every other day to help prevent migraine attacks. For more
information about NURTEC ODT, visit www.nurtec.com. The most
common adverse reaction was nausea and abdominal pain/indigestion.
Avoid concomitant administration of NURTEC ODT with strong
inhibitors of CYP3A4, strong or moderate inducers of CYP3A or
inhibitors of P-gp or BCRP. Avoid another dose of NURTEC ODT within
48 hours when it is administered with moderate inhibitors of
CYP3A4.
Indication
NURTEC ODT orally disintegrating tablets is
a prescription medicine that is used to treat migraine in adults.
It is for the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without
aura and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine. It is not
known if NURTEC ODT is safe and effective in children.
