When every team mentions the bubbles, you know you’ve made an impression. 🫧 🫧
But for Team 140 Long Beach RaceHers, Natalie McPherson and Jenn Lee, it was about much more than that.
Voted on by fellow competitors and staff, the Team Spirit Award recognizes the team that demonstrates selflessness, encouragement, and camaraderie throughout the competition, proving that competitive drive and supporting others can go hand in hand.
And there was no question about these two.
Known for their infectious joy, willingness to lend a hand, and yes, the bubbles they’ve brought to the rally since their very first Rebelle, Natalie and Jenn made an impression on just about everyone. Both three-time Rebelles, this was their second Rebelle together.
The award, co-presented by longtime Rebelle partner and competitor favorite Scrubblade, includes a $5,000 donation to the team’s non-profit of choice. This year, an anonymous donor matched that amount, bringing the total to a record $10,000 donation in Team 140’s name to DSF Werks, a Long Beach nonprofit empowering underserved young adults through hands-on automotive training, media arts, and mentorship.
Congratulations, Natalie and Jenn! Well deserved!🥂
