Speedway Children's Charities Mission Statement

Speedway Children's Charities provide funds to organizations that meet the direct needs of children with medical, educational or social challenges. From mentoring programs to camps for special need children- we best impact children's lives by supporting organizations working tirelessly to see that children's needs are met and that no child is left behind, regardless of illness, social environment or disability.

The Las Vegas Chapter

The Las Vegas Chapter was founded in 1999. All funds raised by this chapter stay in Nevada .
