For two decades, The NASCAR Foundation has carried forward Betty Jane France's vision of care, compassion, and community. Since 2006, it has touched the lives of more than 1.8 million children and donated more than $50 million to support health and wellness programs across racing communities.

Through the Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award, the Speediatrics Fun Day Festivals, and the Speedy Bear Brigade, the Foundation empowers fans and families to give back where it matters most—helping children smile, heal, and dream.
