20 Years Running





"This was a normal child experience. We don't get many of those."
- Parent of child

It's quotes like the one above that keep Racing For Kids on such a high note. After teaming up with Firestone Racing, Andretti Green Racing, and Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, RFK has been capable of taking ill children down to the tracks for a day at the races. Many of the children are on an outpatient basis and seldom get this kind of experience. Each day at the race includes a chance to meet the drivers, enjoy lunch, and also have a chance to watch each driver practice or even qualify for the upcoming race. The entire day is not only a thrill for the children but the families enjoy the experience as well.

At the Racing For Kids Event this year we were able to get another piece of furniture signed by the Dreyer and Reinbold racers: Milka Duno, Davey Hamilton, John Andretti, and Mike Conway. It was a nice added touch to the black and white checkered chair.

Since their funding started 20 years ago, Racing For Kids has given more than $5 million to the hospitals they have visited.
