Making a difference in a
child’s life is the focus of Speedway Children’s Charities. SCC strives to do this in collaboration with the non-profit organizations
it supports nationwide. Individually, SCC’s local chapters identify the needs of children in their communities
and award grants to organizations that address them. Last December, The Las
Vegas Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities granted $255,000 to 44 local
children’s causes.
