O
nce upon a time in North Carolina, there
were two remarkable men named Marty
Hunt and Jimmy Moore. They were
business competitors but also close friends and
dedicated Masons. Their bond extended beyond
their shared love for motorcycles and fast cars.
Both men possessed a deep desire to make a positive
impact on the lives of children at the Masonic
Home for Children at Oxford (MHCO).
Marty Hunt, known for his humble nature,
preferred to work behind the scenes, quietly
contributing to causes close to his heart. Jimmy
Moore shared the same sentiment, always preferring
to do good without seeking recognition. Together,
they hatched a plan to support the MHCO during
its momentous 150th anniversary.
On May 17, a significant gift was set to be unveiled
by Jimmy Moore and his wife, Beverly, alongside
Bonnie Hunt, Marty's beloved widow. This gift not
only aimed to raise funds for the home's anniversary
but also to raise awareness about the safe haven
it provided for children in need of hope, support,
and love.
The centerpiece of their generous donation was
the NASCAR Xfinity Series #51 car, driven by the
skilled Jeremy Clements. The car was magnificently
adorned with the MHCO anniversary logo,
displaying it proudly on the hood, deck lid, and even
on Jeremy's firesuit and helmet. The intention was
to draw attention to the MHCO as the car raced at
the Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 29.
