NASCAR Foundation Announces $500,000 Donation To Victory Junction Gang
The NASCAR Foundation will present a $500,000 check to the Victory Junction Gang Camp during pre-race activities at the LifeLock 400 at Kansas Speedway this Sunday.
Sprint Vice President of Experiential Marketing and NASCAR Foundation Board Member Tom Murphy will present the donation, which is made possible by funds raised mainly through NASCAR Day, The NASCAR Foundation?s largest fundraiser of the year.
?The NASCAR Foundation supports many worthy causes and the Victory Junction Gang Camp is one that truly resonates with NASCAR fans,? said Murphy. ?Without the overwhelming support of the Foundation, fans and our industry partners, donations like this one would not be possible.?
Victory Junction Gang Camp is part of The NASCAR Foundation Family of Charities. The camp enriches the lives of children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses by providing life-changing camping experiences that are exciting, fun, and empowering, in a safe and medically sound environment.
