Lowe’s Motor Speedway will honor Autism Awareness Month by contributing $10 from every ticket that was sold to the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race and Coca-Cola 600 from April 3 – April 11, to Autism Speaks.
“Autism affects millions of families around the world, including many of our great fans,” said Marcus Smith, president and general manager of Lowe’s Motor Speedway. “We’ve worked with local non-profit groups that help children with autism and their families through Speedway Children’s Charities. Now we’ve decided to significantly expand those efforts to help Autism Speaks increase awareness of the disorder and raise funds to help find a cure.
Lowe’s Motor Speedway’s contribution will help fund autism research, awareness, advocacy and family services.
NBaP thinks this is a great gesture on the part of the track to help with this issue. If you feel there is more you would like to do, please visit their site and discover what different ways you can contribute to Autism Speaks causes.
