Speedway Children's Charities is dedicated to helping children. We operate as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, and produce and coordinate various events throughout the year to raise funds that are distributed to worthy children's organizations. It is our desire to meet the critical needs of all children. SCC Bristol distributed a total of $676,436 in 2022 to support many of the rural-area child-focused agencies throughout Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.
