High Fives Foundation
Founded by Roy Tuscany, the Tahoe-based foundation supports the dreams of outdoor action sports athletes by raising injury prevention awareness while providing resources and inspiration to those who suffer life altering injuries. The support over the past 6 years from the Joey Logano Foundation has provided the opportunity for young adults that have sustained life-altering injuries to return to the sports they love. We are so blessed to partner with the best driver in NASCAR, Joey Logano.

Nurse-Family Partnership
Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) is honored to partner with the Joey Logano Foundation (JLF) to affect positive change in the lives of vulnerable families nationwide. Since 2016, JLF has supported our home visiting program, which provides assistance to first-time moms overcoming obstacles such as poverty, substance abuse, homelessness or intimate partner violence. Moms are paired with a personal nurse, giving them the tools to provide their child the best possible start in life. The Foundation’s generous funding has allowed NFP to expand services, helping us towards our ambitious goal to serve 100,000 families annually by 2023. As JLF and NFP work together to break the cycle of poverty for vulnerable, first-time families, we look forward to our continued partnership to offer these families the second chance they deserve.

Michael’s Way
JLF has had an incredible impact on our organization because you were there from the beginning! Our mission is to improve the lives of children with pediatric cancer and to support their parents struggling under the financial strain of such a devastating diagnosis. Michael’s Way has been working with Oncology Social Workers at Levine Children’s Hospital to recognize the needs for families that have children with cancer. Thanks to the support of the NASCAR family, we were able to grow and assist more families than thought possible. We continue to grow in the Charlotte community and host a golf tournament every year at The Charlotte Country Club, which the Joey Logano Foundation participates in. Thank you to Joey and JLF for your continued support and inspiration! We are ever so grateful for your relationship.
WEEK 3: SUNDAY, SEPT. 30TH | CHARLOTTE MOTOR SPEEDWAY | MICHAELSWAY.ORG
B+ Foundation
The Andrew McDonough B+ (Be Positive) Foundation fights childhood cancer by funding research and by providing financial assistance to families of kids with cancer nationwide. As the largest supporter of families of kids with cancer across the country, we couldn’t do it without the generous support of folks like Joey & Brittany Logano and The Joey Logano Foundation. Over the past few years, Joey has dramatically lessened the financial burden on the families of dozens of kids with cancer through our B+ Family Assistance Program. Additionally, Joey has been so kind to our B+ Heroes when he has hosted them at the track.

Youth Villages
Youth Villages is dedicated to helping emotionally and behaviorally troubled children and their families live successfully. The YVLifeSet program is a community-based approach serving young adults ages 17-22 who leave foster care, juvenile justice and mental health systems. This program provides intensive support and guidance these young adults need to make a successful transition to adulthood; granting them a chance to change the trajectory of their lives. The Joey Logano Foundation gives a second chance to these children and extremely vulnerable youth. Together, Youth Villages and the Joey Logano Foundation continue to offer opportunity and help to those in need by giving them the chance to get back on track towards a successful life.

Pinky Swear Foundation
Thanks to the continued support from The Joey Logano Foundation over the past two years, Pinky Swear Foundation has been able to increase funding for their programs and provide additional grants to families with children battling cancer. These grants help to cover mortgage/rent payments, reliable transportation, grocery gift cards and more. This support has helped families stay afloat, stay together and stay in their homes. The Pinky Swear Foundation is so thankful for all of the continued support from the Joey Logano Foundation so they can continue to help kids with cancer and their families with financial and emotional support.
WEEK 6: SUNDAY, OCT. 21ST | KANSAS SPEEDWAY | PINKYSWEAR.ORG
Crossroads Medical Mission
How many trips does it take for 230 students to be transported, five at a time, to get their school and sports physicals each year? No, this isn’t a math problem! These were the logistics necessary for a 24-hour school to complete this task before Crossroads Medical Mission offered its services. Crossroads Medical Mission is a mobile medical clinic bringing health care services to individuals in need throughout Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. Thanks to the Joey Logano Foundation, dedicated staff and volunteers, Crossroads is able to continue the tradition. We are honored to be a first-year recipient of Joey Logano Foundation’s generosity!

World Vision
World Vision is committed to leveling the playing field for children living in poverty in North Texas by providing educational tools and classroom supplies through our Teacher Resource Center. Teachers serving at schools in low-income neighborhoods (Title 1 schools) are invited to visit World Vision to stock up on school supplies and classroom materials, free of charge. With the support of the Joey Logano Foundation’s $10,000 grant, we expect to impact over 2,100 students and 89 teachers with notebooks, binders, pencils, scissors, and glue sticks, as well as books and arts and crafts materials.

Phoenix Dream Center
Big thanks to the Joey Logano foundation for their support of Thrive Foster Care prevention, reunification and aged out. Because of your support we have been able to reach over 300 at risk families in Arizona and over 700 kids, providing them with their basic needs to help kids stay out of the foster care system. With your continued support we can do more. A family that has hope will THRIVE!

Start Off Smart
For the past three years, the Joey Logano Foundation has been an incredible support to Start Off Smart (SOS) and the families we serve. Realizing that just making ends meet on a daily basis for these families is monumental. Holidays like Thanksgiving cannot be celebrated in the typical manner. JLF has provided a full Thanksgiving dinner to 100 families that are served by SOS on an annual basis. For a short period of time, they like other families are provided the opportunity to “break bread “on Thanksgiving and to give thanks to those who are so generous to them. SOS in partnership with the Joey Logano Foundation ensure that these families are able to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner and a Shell tank of gas.
