Charities
The greatest success of Sprint Sound & Speed Presented by SunTrust is the impact it has on the charities it supports: Victory Junction Gang Camp and the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum. In 2006, with the support of the sponsors and attendees, $300,000 was donated.
Victory Junction Gang Camp
www.victoryjunction.org – The mission of the Victory Junction Gang Camp is to enrich the lives of children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses by providing life-changing camping experiences that are exciting, fun, and empowering, in a safe and medically sound environment. Founded by NASCAR driver Kyle Petty and his wife Pattie in honor of their late son Adam, the Victory Junction Gang Camp is a year-round facility serving children, age seven to 15. Victory Junction is an independent not-for-profit organization. Each camp in the Hole in the Wall Gang Association has its own board of directors and founders including actor Paul Newman. In 2002, Victory Junction Gang Camp was named the proud charity of NASCAR and now is joined by other charities as part of the NASCAR Foundation. The NASCAR Foundation continues to pledge their support through a comprehensive media campaign. In addition, many of the teams, owners, drivers and track owners support the camp with individual contributions. For more information, visit www.victoryjunction.org.
