Foundation Friday: Chase Elliott Foundation

Foundation Friday seeks to spotlight how NASCAR drivers are giving back through their personal foundations. Each week, a different driver and their foundation is highlighted including who they are helping, notable accomplishments, and how you can get involved in their efforts.

Chase Elliott Foundation 

Chase Elliott uses “fun”raisers to help bring attention, awareness, and financial contributions to his charitable efforts through his personal foundation.

The Chase Elliott Foundation is “dedicated to providing support and financial assistance to well-qualified charitable organizations with an emphasis on helping others live healthier, happier lives.”

DESI9N to Drive

This first initiative partners with the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. This allows a full design makeover – car and fire suit – by a CHOA patient. 

Thirteen-year-old cancer patient Kayleb Duran-Rodriguez designed Elliott’s car for the 2023 July race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, giving it a summer night theme.

Additionally, 11-year-old Alex Corbin designed Elliott’s firesuit for that race weekend. Corbin coordinated the suit with Duran-Rodriguez’s theme of campfires and s’mores. 

Over the past six years, DESI9N to Drive has raised over $350,000. All proceeds have gone toward the Aflac Cancer Center at CHOA.
