Since 1999, the Las Vegas Chapter of Speedway Children's Charities has distributed $1.7 million in funding to children's organizations in the southern Nevada area surrounding the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The funds distributed by Speedway Children's Charities are raised through special events held throughout the year. Some of the annual events include the NASCAR Driver Auction, Mel Larson Night of Champions, Golf Tournament, NHRA "Cards for Kids" Poker Tournament, and WNFR Celebrity Bowling Tournament.
Operating as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the Las Vegas Chapter has granted funds to more than one local children's organization you may be familiar with. In 2009, the Las Vegas Chapter distributed $275,000 to 78 different children's organizations that meet the direct needs of children across southern Nevada. Speedway Children's Charities is more than just a fundraiser - we are a partner in change! Our local Board of Trustees oversee the distribution of funds to qualified children's-based 501(c)(3) organizations. Local challenges ranging from learning disabilities, broken homes, and childhood cancer are only a few items on the agenda our organization supports.
