The partnership helped to nearly RMHC’s web traffic on race days and prompted Sprint Cup driver Kasey Kahne to personally donate $50,000. He also challenged his fans to visit www.drivetocare.org to help raise $500,000 to put a new Ronald McDonald Care Mobile clinic on the road traveling to neighborhoods where children don’t have access to proper health care. Continuing with the FOX Sports Supports initiative, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) is currently partnered with during MLB on FOX coverage this season.
