The Foundations approach is to help build stronger foundations for childrens success through supporting initiatives that address literacy and education food insecurity mentorship and open doors to experiences that can inspire children. Since 2003 the Bobby Labonte Foundation has generously donated all proceeds from fundraiser events totaling nearly 1 million to various nonprofit organizations in the Triad.
