The Sonoma Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities and the Classic Sports Racing Group partnered on their 17th annual Charity Challenge race weekend in October at Sonoma Raceway. Through various SCC fundraising efforts, including a “Text to Donate” campaign, e-blasts, ‘thank you CSRG video’ shared with their members and via social media, as well as online donations, more than $5,000 was raised for SCC before the cars hit the track.
During the race weekend, Friday practice was canceled due to poor air quality and several owners/drivers instructed us to transfer the Friday test-day fee to the charity.
In December, the Classic Sports Racing Group presented a $32,200 check to the Sonoma Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities representing all funds raised in CSRG’s Oct. 2-4 Charity Challenge at Sonoma Raceway. Over the 17-year partnership, CSRG has helped raise over $1 million for the Sonoma Chapter through it’s fundraisers and generous members.
