Speedway Children's Charities grant $100,000 to Atlanta organizations
Speedway Children's Charities helped out local non-profits championing children's causes in metro Atlanta and Georgia late last year.
In total, 35 organizations around the area received funds during SCC Atlanta's annual Grant Distribution Ceremony held in Club One at Atlanta Motor Speedway in December.
Recipients use the grants to address a variety of needs from kids in the area, from providing housing to those in crisis, to providing meals for the hungry, to cancer support and so much more.
'(The) ceremony is what Speedway Children's Charities and our volunteers work all year for,' said SCC Atlanta chapter director Kathy Bradley. 'Thanks to those efforts and the generosity of our supporters, each of the non-profits receiving grants today are getting a boost for their life-changing efforts that benefit children in need.'
Each year, SCC Atlanta holds fundraisers in conjunction with AMS events, such as its two NASCAR Cup Series race weekends. The charity also raises funds through standalone initiatives like the annual Kids Win Golf Tournament, the Kids Win Clay Shoot, and unique experiences at the speedway such as Laps for Charity, which also runs during the Atlanta NASCAR race weekends each season.
Including SCC Atlanta, Speedway Children's Charities has local chapters at 11 Speedway Motorsports facilities making a positive impact on children across the country. In 2024 alone, those chapters have delivered more than $4 million to non-profits that directly impact children in need. Since the charity's inception in 1982, Speedway Children's Charities has granted more than $72 million to non-profit organizations nationwide.
