You landed at the Charities page. Learn a little bit about some Charities. If you wish to there are links and info on how to donate to that particular Charity. I felt this would be a great page since Jeff Gordon is part of many Foundations.
The Jeff Gordon Foundation:
The Jeff Gordon Foundation was established in December, 1999 by four-time NASCAR Winston Cup champion Jeff Gordon. The Foundation is dedicated to help support the physical, social and intellectual needs of children and their families throughout the United States.
The Foundation has chosen to primarily support four charities that represent Jeff's commitment to children and their families. The charities are: The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, The Make-A-Wish Foundation, and The Marrow Foundation (which includes The Hendrick Marrow Program. and Riley Hospital for Children (Indianapolis, IN). The Foundation will also support various other charitable organizations on a case-by-case basis.
