The NASCAR Foundation, Speedway Motorsports and Speedway Children’s Charities are teaming up to host a 75-hour event to raise funds for nonprofits across the country, as part of the sport’s 75th Anniversary celebrations.
The Giveathon begins Tuesday, May 16 at 5 p.m. and goes until 8 p.m. on Friday, May 19, officially known as “the NASCAR Day Giveathon.”
“The NASCAR industry has a long history of giving back in our racing communities to help others," said Nichole Krieger, Vice President and Executive Director of The NASCAR Foundation. "We’re thrilled to partner with Speedway Motorsports and Speedway Children’s Charities for this amazing event."
The 75-hour giving period will feature a multitude of bonus grants and matching gift donations for nonprofit organizations as well as commemorative prizes/memorabilia for donors. The goal will be to raise $750,000 in charitable funds. Nonprofits interested in participating are encouraged to register at NASCARdaygiveathon.org before the May 1 deadline.
Additionally, NASCAR and Speedway Motorsports will contribute a combined $100,000 for gifts up to $750 to be matched from these funds.
“As the sport of NASCAR comes together to celebrate its 75th anniversary, this is such a unique opportunity for fans worldwide to come together in support of organizations that benefit our communities,” said Jessica Fickenscher, Managing Director for Speedway Children’s Charities.
