DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. (Feb. 17, 2016) – The NASCAR Foundation unveiled a new permanent display for the Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award presented by Nationwide trophy on Wednesday, in the lobby of the International Motorsports Center.
The trophy display was unveiled by The NASCAR Foundation Chairwoman Emeritus and Founder Betty Jane France, who was joined Wednesday by The NASCAR Foundation Chairman Mike Helton and other members of the foundation’s board of directors.
The Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award – the NASCAR industry’s most prestigious community service honor – is presented annually to a NASCAR fan who embodies France’s commitment to philanthropic causes and whose generosity and compassion has positively impacted the lives of children.
“This permanent display befits the growing stature and impact of our award,” France said. “Since its inception, the award has benefited nearly 200,000 children throughout the United States. Today’s unveiling also is an appropriate way to begin The NASCAR Foundation’s 10th year of existence.
“For both our employees who come to the International Motorsports Center every day and our visitors, this display will be a reminder of the good, important work The NASCAR Foundation has been doing since 2006 to improve the quality of life for children.”
