Make an Impact Foundation (MAIF) will partner with up-and-coming NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver, Jack Wood and his GMS Racing team for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Daytona International Speedway. This race kicks off not only the NASCAR season but a great partnership between Jack and MAIF. The goal of our partnership is to generate funds to build playgrounds, parks, and other recreational projects for children in need.
“I am proud to become an advocate of the Make An Impact Foundation and lead the #MAIFKidsPlay initiative through our unique partnership. As a young racer, physical health has played a crucial role in my performance on track, so when I became aware of the decline in outdoor play due in part to the lack of access to playgrounds, I made it my mission to raise awareness and funds to combat this nationwide issue. I know for a fact that outdoor play as a kid had a positive influence on my life, so it is my goal to help other kids live that healthy lifestyle as well. The Make An Impact Foundation stands for that goal, making this partnership a great one.” proclaimed Wood.
We strive to create a place where all kids have equal opportunity and ability to play freely without barriers to growth, dreams, and imagination. As part of our mission, we work with our partners to reverse the decline of outdoor play in America. The crisis of play has a negative impact on the physical, emotional, and social well-being of kids, families, and communities throughout the nation.
We welcome the partnership with open arms, our Director of Impact Development, Ali O’Connor stated, “There are no adequate words for how excited and thankful we are to have this partnership come to life with Jack Wood and GMS Racing. Making an impact in children’s lives is a priority for our Foundation and coming out of this pandemic, outdoor play is more important than ever for kids in our communities. We are just so appreciative of Jack and the rest of the GMS Racing team helping us raise awareness for the #MAIFKidsPlay platform.”
