The Las
Vegas Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities will grant $199,000 to 60 local
charities at its annual Grant Distribution and Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony
on Dec. 13 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The number of children’s causes
receiving grants from SCC has increased by 13 over last year’s total of 47.
The
Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Nevada, Opportunity Village, Candlelighters
For Childhood Cancer and the Muscular Dystrophy Association will be among the
charities receiving grants.
Children
from each organization are invited to attend the event, which will include a
child-friendly holiday buffet, musical performances, holiday games and gifts
from Santa Claus, who will arrive aboard a Richard Petty Driving Experience race
car.
Fundraising
events for the 2012 season included the chapter’s 10th annual golf tournament,
the Cards For Kids Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament at the Stratosphere Hotel,
Casino & Tower and Laps for Charity at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
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. For more information on SCC, please contact director Paulette Anderson at
(702) 632-8242 or panderson@lvms.com.
