The Erik Jones Foundation (EJF) will once again join NASCAR and The NASCAR Foundation for the second-annual NASCAR Day Giveathon, an online giving campaign to raise $650,000 in charitable funds for local charities across the country. As a nonprofit organization participating in the Giveathon, the Erik Jones Foundation has its own online Giveathon page for collecting donations. Donors are encouraged to visit the site during the Giveathon and support the foundation.
“Giving to the Erik Jones Foundation during the The NASCAR Day Giveathon is a great way to support our work, said Brent Nickola,” Executive Director of the Erik Jones Foundation. “Partnering with the NASCAR Foundation opens us thousands of dollars in matching gifts that our donors can leverage to support our work, and I hope some of our donors will take advantage of the opportunity. Last year, we received thousands of dollars from these funds.”
The Giveathon, which runs from Tuesday, May 14, at 8:00 a.m. ET until Wednesday, May 15, at 9:00 p.m. ET, features bonus grants and matching gift donations for nonprofit organizations, as well as T-shirts and memorabilia items as incentives for donors. To take advantage of the matching dollars, Nickola encourages donors to prepare in advance to make their gifts.
“The matching dollars on May 15 will be in high demand and depleted within the first few minutes of each hour,” cautioned Nickola. “To ensure you don’t miss the opportunity to double your gift, I recommend getting into the system an hour before the matching dollars become available, entering all of your information, and being ready to submit your gift the moment the clock rolls over to the next hour. Additionally, I encourage donors to stay updated on our social media channels for real-time updates throughout the Giveathon.”
