As NASCAR returns to Sonoma Raceway for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 weekend, Speedway Children's Charities Sonoma will once again provide fans with opportunities to support children and families in critical need throughout Sonoma County. The NASCAR weekend at Sonoma Raceway takes place June 26-28, highlighted by the NASCAR Cup Series Toyota/Save Mart 350 on Sunday, June 28.

Throughout race week, fans can participate in several fundraising initiatives benefiting Speedway Children's Charities Sonoma, whose mission is to care for children in educational, financial, social, and medical need. Since 2001, the Sonoma chapter has distributed more than $6.8 million to Sonoma County youth organizations.

One of the featured fundraisers is the Speedway Children's Charities Sonoma Online Auction, which goes live on June 21 and closes at midnight on June 29. Race fans can bid on exclusive NASCAR memorabilia and collectibles while supporting local children and families. Every winning bid directly benefits programs and services that provide hope, support, and opportunity to those in need. Fans can participate in the auction at Speedway Children's Charities Sonoma Online Auction.

Fans can also support the cause through the SCC Text to Donate campaign. By texting SONOMAKIDS to 50155, donors can make a secure contribution to Speedway Children's Charities Sonoma and help provide critical support for children and families throughout the community.

Another returning fan-favorite fundraiser is Ride the Raceway, taking place Saturday, June 27 from 5-6 p.m. Participants will have the opportunity to ride shotgun for two thrilling laps around Sonoma Raceway's iconic road course with a professional driver behind the wheel. From dramatic elevation changes to the track's signature turns, fans will experience the same challenging circuit NASCAR stars will tackle during race weekend.

Proceeds from Ride the Raceway benefit Speedway Children's Charities Sonoma and help fund programs supporting children and families in need across Sonoma County. Space is limited, and fans can reserve their spot at Ride the Raceway Registration.

Sonoma Raceway and Speedway Children's Charities Sonoma are proud to announce the return of "Track to Table," presented by Suburban Propane, during Toyota/Save Mart 350 NASCAR Cup Series weekend. The signature fundraising event will once again bring together the worlds of motorsports, culinary excellence and philanthropy for an unforgettable evening benefiting local children and families in need.

Set for Friday, June 26, at Sonoma Raceway's Turn 11 Club, Track to Table will feature an elevated dining experience showcasing Sonoma County food and wine, live entertainment, exclusive auction opportunities and special NASCAR weekend appearances. Proceeds from the event will directly support Speedway Children's Charities Sonoma and its mission of helping Sonoma County children in educational, financial, social and medical need.
