Hoping to create a groundswell of goodwill amongst area race fans and holiday memories to last a lifetime for 2,000 underprivileged kids in Southern California, the Auto Club Speedway staff took the true meaning of the holiday giving season to heart and launched a personal “Season of Giving”program in hopes of providing some holiday cheer to those not as fortunate.
The program idea, based on the spirit of giving, started with a simple question asked during a staff meeting on Tuesday. That question? “There are a lot of folks around here that aren’t as lucky as we are. What can we do to make 2013 a little brighter for those not as fortunate?”
With that, the “Season of Giving” program was launched in hopes of putting happiness in the hearts of thousands of children, and a sense of meaning in the hearts of those who provided.
The program is simple: In an effort to open our hearts to those not as blessed, and knowing the “true” meaning of Christmas, purchase a $35 ticket to the March NASCAR Auto Club 400, donate that purchase back to the “Season of Giving” program and Auto Club Speedway will match each ticket purchased. Both tickets will then be donated to the area Boys and Girls Clubs to be given to youths who might otherwise never be able to attend an event at Auto Club Speedway.
After the staff meeting, employees purchased tickets to the “Season of Giving” program, giving kids in the area the opportunity to attend the Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway on March 24. Although a good start, Speedway employees hope the true spirit of giving permeates through the area in an effort to provide for those less fortunate.
