NASCAR Foundation Kicks Off Summer With Hunger Walk For Kids

With the same bold and victory-chasing determination as its drivers, the NASCAR Foundation is at it again, reaching out to the community and striving to make a tangible impact in the lives of others–this time by helping to feed hungry kids.

On Saturday, July 11th, NASCAR will team up with Chicagoland Speedway to hold a “Hunger Walk For Kids,” benefiting Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger charity.

The initiative offers three cool ways to get involved:

1)  Be in the middle of the action…walk the track at Chicagoland Speedway! Sign up online for $30; kids under 14 walk with a paid adult.

2)  Set up your very own Food Fundraising page, a great way to get friends & family involved.

3)  Make a donation of any amount online. Every little bit helps!

NASCAR Foundation’s goal is to provide Feeding America with 350,000 meals. Check it: For each person who participates in the “virtual food drive,” presenting sponsor Hock Foods will donate one meal toward this goal.

Hugbacker is more impressed each day with the folks at NASCAR; they’re always using the sport to strengthen its ties to the community and spread the love.  J This initiative is an awesome example of how easy it is to get involved and have fun while making sure hungry kids get a good meal!
