This is what we do!!
The Dream
Have you ever dreamt of taking the checkered flag at your local Speedway, or going fender to fender into the corners? Many of us have and for some of us this dream will become a reality. But for many, this thrill is out of reach.
Now children with disabilities or serious illnesses will be able to have this experience come true. The Racing 4 Kidz Program will be an experience of a lifetime for you and for them!!
Racing 4 Kidz Program!
Our Mission and Desire is to offer to children with disabilities and serious illneses such as Leukemia, the opportunity to experience the thrill of racing, for FREE. This would be a once in a lifetime experience that they and their families would not forget.
Over the next few months Giving Kids Hope, Inc. along with StockCar Extreme and many local racers, will be working towards this goal. We will be approaching many of you to help where you can. We will be talking with track promoters and owners to get them on board as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
We will be offering ride alongs where ever we are for a nominal cost. Not sure at this time what that will be, so be sure to come back here often as we work through the next few months to make the dreams of children come alive.
Thanks
Giving Kids Hope, Inc.
Finding Children
We at Giving Kids Hope are working local groups to help us locate children for the Racing 4 Kidz program. We want to thank them for seeing our dream of helping children come true.
