K1 Speed Donates Over $100,000 to ASPCA
K1 Speed, a leader in indoor go-kart racing, recently made headlines by donating a significant sum of $104,169 to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). This generous act was made in honor of April's designation as Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month. The donation highlights K1 Speed's determination to advocate for animal rights and combat cruelty towards animals across the nation.
The funds are intended to support the ASPCA's vital mission of preventing cruelty to animals. This mission encompasses a range of initiatives, including efforts to combat animal abuse, rescuing and fostering animals in need, as well as advocating for legislative changes that promote animal welfare. This impactful donation reinforces the importance of grassroots support in the fight against animal cruelty.
The funds raised were facilitated in collaboration with Charity Benefits Unlimited (CBU). This partnership created an opportunity for K1 Speed's patrons to participate in silent auctions across their 66 locations in the U.S. Through the silent auctions, customers could bid on exclusive memorabilia connecting to sports, film, and television, with proceeds designated to charitable organizations selected by K1 Speed.
Susan Danglard, the Co-Founder and CMO of K1 Speed, expressed her passion for animal causes, stating, "When choosing a charity, the ASPCA is always at the top of my list. I deeply admire the incredible work they do to protect our furry friends from cruelty. It is a privilege to support them with this donation during Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month."
In light of this initiative, K1 Speed is encouraging additional contributions to the ASPCA. Community members can support animal welfare during this special month by making donations through the ASPCA's official website,
