2016 IMPACT REPORT LETTER FROM OUR CHAIRMAN
Dear Friends,
On behalf of The NASCAR Foundation, I want to personally thank each and every member of what we call the ”NASCAR Family” for their enthusiasm, engagement and contributions throughout 2016.
Of course, 2016 will always be a year of bittersweet memories for everyone involved with The NASCAR Foundation. There was so much accomplished, so much to celebrate – but it all was tempered by the loss of our founder, our visionary and our leader, Chairwoman Emeritus Betty Jane France.
We can take comfort by knowing that throughout 2016 we worked diligently to fulfill her vision, with the most noticeable example being The NASCAR Foundation’s Inaugural Honors Gala held in New York City that September, only weeks after Betty Jane’s passing. She was the driving force behind the gala, just as she had been the driving force back in the early 1980s when NASCAR moved its postseason awards banquet to Manhattan.
The Honors Gala, held at the Marriott Marquis, was a most appropriate setting to announce the winner of the Sixth Annual Betty Jane Humanitarian Award presented by Nationwide, Andy Hoffman of the Nebraska-based Team Jack Foundation. The award is presented to a NASCAR fan who has done outstanding work on behalf of children in need in their community. The award honors the philanthropic ideals of Betty Jane France. Hoffman also was recognized at the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Awards in December, at Wynn Las Vegas.
The award presentation was not only the highlight of the Honors Gala but of our year overall, during which we commemorated “10 Years of Giving,” a first decade of existence for the foundation that resulted in approximately $30 million in donations to impact the lives of children in need. The Honors Gala itself raised more than $1.6 million to be used to enhance the delivery of medical care to children across the country through the newly established Speediatrics Children’s Fund.
As we looked ahead to 2017 and the start of our second decade of helping children in our racing communities, we had only to think of Betty Jane France for inspiration. Everyone at The NASCAR Foundation is committed to honoring her memory and legacy. We are confident we can do so, because of your support. You are helping us realize the dreams of our founder – and our foundation.
Sincerely,
Mike Helton Chairman & President, The NASCAR Foundation

On August 29, 2016, the NASCAR family lost a great lady and true champion for children in our racing communities – Betty Jane France.
As The NASCAR Foundation’s Founder and Chairwoman Emeritus, Betty Jane France, envisioned a place where kids were not intimidated by the overwhelming experience of being in the hospital. And out of this vision Speediatrics was born.
Mrs. France knew that when a child becomes seriously ill, it’s a life-changing experience. Fear of the unknown replaces the joy, smiles and daily routine of a healthy life.
The Speediatrics Units help sick kids to a speedy recovery through a unique combination of caring, commitment and kindness, all with a NASCAR theme.
This year, The NASCAR Foundation celebrated its 10th Anniversary and as they embark on the next 10 years, are committed to continuing the vision of Mrs. France to make children’s health our number one priority.
Today, the Speediatrics Children’s Fund along with the Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award presented by Nationwide are two signature programs of the Foundation which positively impact the lives of children in our racing communities.
Thank you to the many individuals in the NASCAR community who support the Foundation and help to continue Mrs. France’s legacy. 2016 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Betty Jane France Chairwoman Emeritus Todd Wilson Treasurer Stu D. Grant Mike Helton Chairman Cynthia Archer Katie Palmer Jennifer France Bates Vice Chairperson/ Secretary Steve Gaffney Glenn Ritchey Lesa France Kennedy Vice Chairperson Harold Goodemote Rusty Wallace Gary Crotty Corporate Secretary Jill Gregory
