What we do
Speedway Children's Charities is a non-profit foundation dedicated to helping children!
Our priority is improving the quality of life for children in need and that mission remains the same throughout our growth. Through donations, sponsorships and fundraising events we distribute funds to qualified non-profit organizations with the same mission as ours. The Las Vegas Chapter awards grants only to those qualified organizations in the Las Vegas and Southern Nevada region.
Founded in 1984 by O. Bruton Smith, chief executive officer of Speedway Motorsports, Inc., Speedway Children's Charities has grown into a national foundation with chapters located at each of the six Speedway Motorsports Inc., facilities, including Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte, N.C., Texas Motor Speedway in Dallas-Ft. Worth and Atlanta Motor Speedway. Each chapter's objective is to assist as many children as possible.
