NASCAR Day Giveathon
CKF is participating in The NASCAR Foundation’s 3rd Annual NASCAR Day Giveathon, a 27-hour-long fundraising event beginning Tuesday, May 13 at 3pm ET, and continuing through Wednesday, May 14 at 6pm ET.
The Giveathon was created in 2023 to honor NASCAR’s 75th Anniversary, and is a joint effort between NASCAR and The NASCAR Foundation to provide funds to the communities where we live, work, and race.
Incentives will be available to those who donate during the Giveathon, including T-shirts, commemorative coins, and more. Matching gift opportunities from various sponsors will also be available for donors at different times throughout the giving period. Within those specific hours, the selected sponsor will randomly match donor gifts of up to $500 each until they reach a total of $10,000 in matching gifts.
