Muscle Milk Pickett Racing’s HPD ARX-03a will get a patriotic make-over for the American Le Mans Northeast Grand Prix on Saturday, July 7 as the car debuts custom red, white and blue wrapping for the Fourth of July holiday weekend race. The patriotic design will help raise awareness for the Muscle Milk Recovery Grant Program which will provide up to $250,000 in grants to help rebuild and revitalize high school athletic programs around the country.

“The Muscle Milk Pickett Racing team is proud to celebrate and recognize our desire to give back and do our part to make the biggest difference,” said Greg Pickett, founder of Muscle Milk and owner of Muscle Milk Pickett Racing. “The red, white and blue wrapping is going to look great on race day. We’re excited that our team can help tell the story of the Muscle Milk Recovery Grant Program and the importance high school athletics play in the overall development of the next generation of student-athletes.”

The Muscle Milk Recovery Grant Program will award up to $25,000 per submission to programs that show a financial hardship outlined in the application process. Applicants must be at least 14 years old and can nominate the high school of their choice on the Muscle Milk Facebook page (www.facebook.com/musclemilk) where they will be required to submit a written statement outlining their program’s needs, provide photos that support their request and will have the option to upload a video link to help further tell their story. Submissions will be accepted through November 20, 2012 and recipients will be notified in January 2013.

In conjunction with the launch of the Muscle Milk Recovery Grant Program, Muscle Milk also debuted limited edition packaging that includes a red, white and blue theme. A portion of sales from the patriotic packaging will go toward funding the Recovery Grant Program.
