Speedway Children’s Charities significantly impacted Rowan County by providing generous grants to two prominent non-profit organizations in a night filled with philanthropy and community spirit. The occasion was the Annual Night of Joy Grant Celebration held last night at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, where Communities In Schools, Rowan, and the Rowan County Literacy Council were honored recipients of these essential funds.

Communities In Schools, Rowan: Speedway Children’s Charities recognized the vital work undertaken by Communities In Schools, Rowan, an organization committed to empowering students to stay in school and achieve their fullest potential. The grant will bolster their efforts in providing resources, support and mentorship programs to students facing various challenges.

The funds aim to make a lasting impact on the educational landscape of Rowan County, ensuring that every student receives the assistance they need to thrive academically and personally.

“On behalf of the Communities in Schools of Rowan, I extend our heartfelt gratitude to Speedway Children’s Charities for their unwavering support,” said James Davis, executive director or Community in Schools of Rowan. “Their generous contribution strengthens our mission and fuels the flame of hope for every student in Rowan County. With their support, we are poised to create a ripple effect of positive change, empowering our youth to overcome obstacles and reach new heights. Together, we are building a brighter future for the students of Rowan, and we cannot thank Speedway Children’s Charities enough for being a beacon of support in our journey toward educational success and community transformation.”

Rowan Literacy Council: Another recipient of Speedway Children’s Charities’ philanthropic efforts was the Rowan County Literacy Council, an organization dedicated to fostering literacy skills among individuals of all ages. The grant will enable the council to expand its reach and enhance literacy programs within the community. With a focus on improving reading, writing and communication skills, the Rowan Literacy Council plays a crucial role in improving residents’ overall quality of life.

Executive Director Laurel Harry noted that, “We are thrilled to be among the 108 Charlotte-area charities selected to receive funding. These funds will help us continue to provide one-on-one tutoring to struggling K-12 students in our community. We are so appreciative of SCC’s commitment to improving the lives (and eventual livelihoods) of children in our community.”

The Annual Night of Joy Grant Celebration brought together community leaders, volunteers and supporters who share a joint commitment to positively impacting the lives of children. Speedway Children’s Charities, a well-known entity in philanthropy, has been a driving force in supporting local initiatives and causes that aim to uplift and strengthen communities.

The grants provided by Speedway Children’s Charities exemplify the organization’s commitment to fostering positive change and enhancing the overall welfare of children throughout the region.

The two selected Rowan County agencies expressed gratitude for this philanthropic gesture, knowing that the impact of these grants will resonate far beyond the Annual Night of Joy Grant Celebration, leaving a lasting legacy for generations to come.
