NASCAR ATHLETES AND THE CHARITIES THEY SUPPORT

Posted by texasdirt on November 14, 2008

The Real Kyle Busch and His Quest to Help Children Across the Country

As the season calms down and the major figures of NASCAR return to their ‘off-season’ activities, which in many cases means charity work. Many of the biggest fans in NASCAR lend time, money and resources to their own foundations or the charities closest to their heart. NASCAR heavyweight, Kyle Busch is no exception.  When he’s not competing with NASCAR’s elite, Kyle Busch is focused on improving the lives of neglected, abandoned, abused or orphaned children across the country. After an emotional visit to a children’s home in 2006, Busch vowed to help provide living and learning environments where less fortunate children can pursue their dreams, and thus came The Kyle Busch Foundation.

The Kyle Busch Foundation concentrates its efforts on assisting organizations in fostering a safe environment for children to live, learn and challenge themselves as well as providing assistance for day-to-day needs. The foundation supports a number of charities including St. Johns Home (Grand Rapids, MI), Carolina’s Children Center (Concord, NC), Girls and Boys Town of Nevada (Las Vegas, NV) and Carrie Steele-Pitts Home (Atlanta, GA) and many more.

This holiday season many NASCAR families can help their favorite drivers and many more by giving to these charities. Find your favorite athlete and their charity below.

    Glad to see other nascar fans posting some of the charities of their role models. I know as a fan of Jeff Gordon, I wanted to support him and his charity efforts as well as some great ice cream.
