LSCC BENEFICIARIES

Each year Lone Star Corvette Club hosts a 3-day Corvettes-only event at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas: the Lone Star Corvette Classic.  Hundreds of lovers of America’s Sports Car gather for a car show, track events, food and fun.  In addition to the enjoyment of beautiful automobiles and camaraderie, this annual event affords LSCC the opportunity to give back to our community, in the form of charitable contributions. 

In 2010, the recipients of charitable contributions from LSCC will be:

Speedway Children’s Charities:  Since 1997, Speedway Children's Charities, Texas Chapter has distributed more than $6.7 million in funding to children's organizations surrounding Texas Motor Speedway. In 2009, the Texas Chapter distributed over $1,000,000.00 to children’s organizations that meet the direct needs of children across the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. The dollars raised go to directly help children in our community. Children's organizations in Collin, Dallas, Dentonand Tarrant counties are eligible to apply for the Speedway Children's Charities' annual grant.

Komen 3 Day Walk for the Cure: The Komen 3 Day Walkis a chance to make a difference by raising money for research, education and community support for the more than 200,000 women and 1,500 men who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. The event is a 3-day, 60 mile walk, with each participant not only walking but agreeing to raise at least $2,300 to help find a cure for this disease, because everybody deserves a lifetime. LSCC members will support the event not only through our charitable contribution, but also by walking, raising additional funds through car shows and other activities, and cheering the walkers on during the 3 day event.  Read Curt Troster's story.
