Charity Clay Shoot Highlights SCC September Race Weekend
LOUDON, N.H. – The New Hampshire Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities had a very successful July, as seven events helped bring in more than $140,000 to benefit children across New England. With five more events planned for the return of NASCAR Race Week next week – Sept. 21-24 – SCC is ready to ensure the holiday season will be a bright one for nonprofit organizations throughout the region.
Each December, the New Hampshire Chapter of SCC distributes grant checks to nonprofit organizations in the region. Since its inception in 2009, the Granite State chapter has raised more than $1.4 million, which has benefited more than 275,000 children across New England.
