#24-Chase Elliott announced the launch of the Chase Elliott Foundation with the unveiling of special, children-designed racing shoes that Elliott and his three Hendrick Motorsports teammates will wear during this weekend’s NASCAR races at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The racing shoes are the result of the ‘Design 2 Drive 4 Children’s art design collaboration with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta(Children’s), the largest healthcare provider for children in Georgia. Patients at Children’s submitted color sketches of racing shoes with a summer camp theme and five drawings were selected to be replicated on Alpinestars racing shoes and worn by the Hendrick teammates at Atlanta. Each of the five racing shoes are being auctioned off online for ten days beginning today. Auction proceeds go to benefit the summer camp program that Children’s runs for its large patient network. At the special announcement today at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston, a children’s hospital facility in Atlanta, the Chase Elliott Foundation also presented Children’s with a check for $24,000, collected from proceeds of a 24-day holiday online auction program conducted this past December. In doing so, Chase Elliott Foundation Executive Director Cindy Elliott told the crowd of assembled Children’s staff, patients and family of the non-profit organization’s mission to helping others live healthier, happier lives.
