At Kaulig Giving, we believe in the power of small gestures to make a big impact. That’s why we proudly partner with the NASCAR Foundation and Kaulig Racing to deliver cuddly comfort through the Speedy Bear Brigade—a nationwide initiative dedicated to bringing joy and emotional support to children receiving care in hospitals.
This year, we were honored to join forces with two of our valued healthcare partners—Akron Children’s Hospital and University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital—to distribute Speedy Bears to brave pediatric patients facing serious health challenges. Each plush bear is more than a soft toy—it’s a symbol of strength, encouragement, and the caring hearts of everyone behind the initiative.
From hospital rooms to healing halls, the smiles these bears inspired were unforgettable. With help from NASCAR volunteers, hospital staff, and our Kaulig Giving team, we personally handed out Speedy Bears to kids in treatment, lifting spirits and spreading cheer during some of their toughest days.
