Hi my name is Seth France and I have a autistic son. Last year I found out I had cancer which devastated me not knowing what could happen to my son. But o got lucky and was able to beat cancer and be here to tell the story.
I decided to give back and do the 1st annual virginia triple crown trail awareness hike to raise money for special needs and cancer families. Looking for sponsors for each mile of the the 35 mile hike or donate to the silent auction. I hope we can work together and see where this goes
Thank you
I would like to nominate the Tony Stewart Foundation because of their work for animals, childeren and injured race car drivers. I support charties that provide for those that are the innocent individuals that need the help. I'm proud to support an organization that stands tall and provides for these principels. I just wish there were more individuals like Tony Stewart doing good for people.
I was a Lap Leader Donor from 2016 up until early 2019 when I had to discontinue due to personal finances. However, over the years that I was a Donor, I recognized the TSF to be one of the best run Charitable Foundations that I had ever supported. Their causes are all very worthy and benefit the communities greatly in which they are located. I recommend this foundation with five stars to anyone that is interested in making a significant and meaningful impact with their Charitable donations.

I have been a monthly contributor for 3 years to this charity that is tireless in its work for raising funds for Animal Rescue, Children Illness, and Retired Race Driver support Charities. I am honored to be a contributor to it with how much it has done for so many over the years. The overwhelming amount of my donations go to the causes that it supports and not administration. The majority of work is voluntary for this Charity. Tony Stewart as the Founder, Supporter and Face of the Foundation contributes great amounts of time to it as well helping those less fortunate and causes it funds. I will be a donor for Life and beyond as long as it continues. Joseph F. Kasper MD, Draper, UT
Tony personally visited my wife and myself when we were hospitalized following a track incident at Daytona in 2013. He was clearly interested in us as race fans, and was a joy to visit with. His concern certainly lifted our spirits and made us life-long fans of his. We will support his Foundation to the upmost of our ability to do so.
I choose to contribute to Tony's foundation because of his level of commitment brought to every endeavor he under takes. Keep up the great work!
I had been a fan of Tony Stewart, the race car driver, for many years. I had seen the occasions when he was criticized in the media for speaking his opinion, etc.
It was in 2010, when I attended a function for our local children's hospital, that I first learned about the Tony Stewart Foundation. I immediately researched it when I returned home, and I was so impressed to read all about it. I had no idea, and it was clearly something that Tony did not (and still does not) seek a lot of attention or publicity for doing.
This organization has done so much to help children and animals in need. This is the one non-profit I donate to on a monthly basis, and I fully intend to continue doing so for as long as possible.
The fact that this organization targets at risk and at need children and animals is amazing. That is the reason why I donate. Giving back is the best thing!
Great way to help children and animals. Big heart and willing to put the time in. The least I can do is add some support.
I have donated monthly to Tony's foundation for many years, because I have seen how much he does for animals and children.
I've donated to Tony's Foundation a few times in the past. Last year, I chose to become a regular donor by donating automatically to the Tony Stewart Foundation every month. I love this option because it's very convenient and a great way to make an ongoing donation.
I really appreciate that Tony sends his monthly donors an autographed photo and thank you letter. It lets me know he truly appreciates all who donate. Even more than these nice perks, it's great to know that the foundation allows you to donate specifically to children, animal welfare and/or injured racers. I am very picky about the charities I give to, especially because I don't have a lot to give and I want to know what I do give is going somewhere it will be put to great use and I know by giving to Tony's foundation, it will!
I trust this charity and will continue to support it!

Tony's Foundation continues to identify great charities that help kids and animals with life-threatening conditions. In addition to grants, Tony leverages his popularity to benefit all of these charities in a more enduring way. Tony's foundation helps give great charities a way to tell their stories to Tony's millions of fans, people that would never be aware of all the help the charities provide through Tony's support.

I have witnessed the Tony Stewart Foundation in action. 74 charities received grants this year, and seeing the good that these groups do for kids and animals is empowering.
"Accelerating Change" results from the grants AND the other resources the Foundation provides to help charities raise both mission awareness and donations from other sources.
The Tony Stewart Foundation supports a broad spectrum of organizations that help some of our most vulnerable children and animals. As a volunteer and donor, I know that the Foundation operation is efficient and engages volunteers and donors across the country. Charity partners are subject to a detailed review, with thorough examination of mission, operating costs, and leadership. The Tony Stewart Foundation offers the opportunity to be involved with a meaningful mission, often with a good measure of fun.
The Tony Stewart Foundation (TSF) has been a tremendous partner in helping all of us at The Children’s TherAplay Foundation help kiddos with special needs grow stronger and more independent through equine-assisted physical and occupational therapies (hippotherapy).
As any nonprofit can attest, there are always items that, while essential to operations, tend to get passed over by potential funders simply because these items aren’t particularly visible or exciting.
Thankfully, the folks at TSF understand that, exciting or not, for us to do our very best work, these essentials must be funded. Here are just a few of the items their grants have made possible over the years:
• Replenished footing for our indoor arena so our therapy horses, horse handlers, and therapists can continue to have a safe, comfortable surface upon which to work.
• High-quality stall mats, funded in conjunction with another organization, to help keep trusty steeds’ joints happy and healthy.
• An emergency veterinary fund which ensured, when one of our longest-serving equine colleagues recently required advanced medical care, we were able to stay focused on getting her the help she needed, not worrying about how in the world we were going to pay for this treatment.
We are so thankful for the tremendous partnership, support, and encouragement from The Tony Stewart Foundation and we consider ourselves incredibly blessed to be part of their funding family.
I've been involved as a Social Media volunteer coordinator as well as a film volunteer in TSF's work with the Brown County Humane Society. In my experience seeing how TSF communicates with both its donors and grantees, I'm incredibly impressed with how kind, human, and effective their dealings are. TSF exercises a good deal of background research for all its affiliates and does its best to meet the needs of those it seeks to help, offering more than just 'a check' for charitable organizations it helps-- rather, TSF offers assistance in organizational planning for small charities, ranging from small-scale renovations to long-term media exposure and maintenance! TSF also caters to a huge audience, offering support and partnership with charitable organizations at a national scale with causes as diverse as animal therapy, childcare, rehabilitation programs, and (most recently!) comparative oncology! To put it simply: I have been wildly impressed with TSF and expect nothing less than the best from them in their future endeavors.

TSF has been involved with some fantastic causes over the years, including animal rescue and rehabilitation, various therapy programs and camps for individuals dealing with difficult medial issues, and even the overlap: animal therapy for individuals in need. TSF has realized their philanthropic vision with outstanding holism, and excels at providing healthful, productive outlets for those most in need.
I encountered the Tony Stewart Foundation when I worked for a local nonprofit serving a varied audience, including children with disabilities and assistance dogs. After meeting two members of the foundation's staff at an event and explaining the nature of the nonprofit I worked for, we were contacted by the foundation and invited to submit a grant proposal. We were fortunate to receive the grant, and the foundation was tremendous in helping us brainstorm other ways to develop a larger marketing strategy around the services we expanded because of its funding generosity. The foundation's financial generosity was greatly appreciated, but also the way its staff embraced the cause, took it to heart, and continued to share and exchange ideas with us. We are just one of hundreds of nonprofits who have been fortunate to work with this foundation and its talented and involved staff and board.
The Tony Stewart Foundation continues to work with its Grant Partner Charities to help them obtain more resources for program services every year!
The Tony Stewart Foundation has been very generous with their donations to assist us with helping pets in need. Without their support we would not have been able to save as many as we have.
The Tony Stewart Foundation has been creating smiles at the KEYS Program for many, many years. Their amazing staff and board members are not only passionate about supporting kids in need, they are dedicated to their charity partners like no other foundation we have ever worked with. When you are a charity partner with the Tony Stewart Foundation...you are truly a PARTNER in doing good! Thanks to the Tony Stewart Foundation's support, we have been able to deliver music, hope and smiles to pediatric cancer patients across the country all at no cost to the families we serve. Whether providing one-on-one music with a child during their chemo treatments, a fun family respite day for patients and their siblings, or a backyard concert for a teen cancer patient in hospice care at home...KEYS is able to be there thanks to the Tony Stewart Foundation and its supporters. It is an honor and a true pleasure to work together with the Tony Stewart Foundation to create smiles and accelerate change!

The Tony Stewart Foundation has been a long-time supporter of the KEYS Program, helping us to deliver music, hope and BIG smiles to kids battling cancer and serious illnesses each year. Of all of the foundation staff we work with, the Tony Stewart Foundation staff is truly the most professional, compassionate and helpful. You won't find another group who cares more about helping others as Tony Stewart and his wonderful board and staff!
I have been an active donor with the Tony Stewart Foundation (TSF) since 2004. It all started on a race day when I heard about a Christmas Toy Drive they were spear-heading. My association with them only got bigger and bigger from that point. TSF serves two of the most important charity categories for me...animals and children. Every year since then, I have donated money, toys, time, and effort to the TSF. I have attended functions where the proceeds benefit the TSF. I still whole heartedly support the Toy Drive each year. I have the honor of serving on Tony's Crew for several years now. That is a small committee of donor volunteers that help research and determine the recipients of the Tony's Crew Grants. How often can you say you actually got to help decide where funding would be awarded? I love being able to research and share my opinion on the different charities. It has brought to my attention so many people that are trying to make a difference. And in turn, the TSF helps them make that difference across the country through grants and exposure for the recipient charities. Tony may have retired from Cup racing, but that doesn't mean the work stops. There is still much to be done. And you can help the Tony Stewart Foundation right now by donating!
I am a very proud donor of the Tony Stewart Foundation. They provide assistance to children, animals, drivers and their families who are in need. They support organizations all over the country. Not just local to Indiana or NASCAR home track areas. They also add their own personal touch to the support they bring. For example, they will purchase, collect, sort, load up and deliver toys for the Fireman's Cheer Fund just so children can have presents at Christmas. The Stewart family do the work themselves to make that happen. They get personally involved with the organizations that they support. It is that personal touch that makes them exceed anyone's expectations. Love them dearly.

I really like that TSF helps several different organizations - all of which are important to me. My heart goes out to children that are critically ill. My sister was born with cancer and fought for her life. Fortunately, we were blessed to have her for 38 years. Animals cannot fend for themselves and deserve strong advocates. My husband and I own a mini-stock car, so racing is also near and dear to my heart.
In the past, headlines about Tony Stewart usually were about his passion and his fierce desire to win. There weren't as many stories about how much he gave back, or how he helped fellow drivers in need... fans would have to seek out those stories because he was never seeking the fame or attention for those actions. Then in 2004, he was named “Most Caring Athlete” by USA Weekend, and over the years more stories started to emerge about how he provides a plane ride for an injured driver's family, or how many children have received gifts, or the millions of dollars he has donated to charities. Its exciting to see our contributions combined with those of others to be part of something bigger... and supporting organizations that we believe in.
This is an amazing and phenomenal foundation. Owned by a caring and heartwarming person, that has put in place a wonderful group of people, to run and operate it. This foundation is almost a one stop donate, they give grants and moneys to Childrens charities, Injured Drivers funds; to help them and thier families out in time of need, and one of my favorites, the Animal charities they give to, that help our four legged friends, that can't help themselves. They vet all there grants givin, and make it available for the donors to see; that the money they give is being used for the purposes they gave it. Makes it very easy for me personally, for I love all these aspects and giving to this foundation, I know that the things I really care about as a person are covered by these wonderful people. Thank you TSF. I am proud to do as much as I can.
I am so happy to help the Tony Stewart Foundation. They have helped change the lives of so many from children, to Vet's, to abused animals. I have always been a fan of Tony Stewart, the driver. But in the past few years, as I have learned of the things he does to help so many, I have become a even bigger fan of Tony Stewart the man. Keep it up Tony and the Tony Stewart Foundation. I am happy to continue to support your efforts!!
This is a non profit that is very ethical in managing their program to overhead ratio with the overwhelming majority of their donations dedicated to programs and not overhead like fancy offices and vehicles, unlike many others out there. Their spokesman is active in the work of the foundation rather than just being a figurehead.
I couldn't be prouder to support and be active with the Tony Stewart Foundation.
Our family is honored to support the Tony Stewart Foundation. We have been a part of many charitable organizations but after getting involved with TSF we have found our home. The foundation has helped so many children, animals, and drivers in need. We will forever be TSF supporters! Thank you, TSF & Tony for what you do day in & day out!!!
The Tony Stewart Foundation is one of the best non-profit organizations out there helping kids and animals all over the country! Please check them out http://tonystewartfoundation.org/
The Tony Stewart Foundation is a caring group of people. They are NOT the kind that do things and never revisit, or to take a photo just for fame. They are a loving bunch who work hard to make a difference, whether you have 2 legs, or 4!
I help support Tony's Foundation through AmazonSmile. Animals and children don't ask to be brought into this world. It is our responsibility to see no harm comes to them.
The TSR helps those who can't always speak for themselves. Nearly 75 charities who help kids and animals received grants this year. Helping these organizations around the U.S. help the most vulnerable among us.
I have been privileged to volunteer with this amazing organization many times. The work they do for children, animals and racing families is unparalleled. Tony, Pam, Joni and all who make up TSF give their hearts to help others. I also am a proud donor!
I have had the pleasure of working with the Tony Stewart Foundation for probably about 7 years now, and the TSF staff has such passion for what they do and they groups that they support. I have worked with many foundations throughout the years, and TSF is by far my favorite. The money that is given to the charities they support are making an amazing difference in the lives of thousands of children and animals.
I have been in the lap leader program for over 5 years. The whole experience with this organization is amazing. Children and animals always need help and love.
I proudly support the TSF primarily because the charities that are granted funds overlap areas after my own heart. I rest easy knowing funds that I contribute are allocated for carefully selected programs which benefit children, animals, and injured race car drivers (and their families). This nonprofit is an excellent way to support causes that many of my relatives and friends also find important and worthy; spreading the word about how to donate, and providing examples of charities the funds regularly help, is a no-brainer for me.
A great organization run by great people for great causes. Tony Stewart and his family donate time and energy to this charity. They focus on helping children, animals and injured drivers and their families. Neither Tony nor his family draw a salary or any compensation for their efforts. They support a number of wonderful causes such as the ICAN program that trains service dogs in the women's prison. They have also purchased bullet proof vests for police service dogs, assisted families of injured or fatally wounded race car drivers and supported day camps for children in need. Please support this wonderful oraganization.
The staff and all those that have been involved in the Tony Stewart Foundation are among the nicest folks you will ever want to meet! The life's they have touched through this awesome organization is beyond belief. What a blessing you are...... Pam Boas, Tony and your family... and all the people that give unconditional support to Tony Stewart Foundation!!
This foundation is focused on some very special and important groups in the community. Their commitment and dedication to help kids and animals in need has had a direct impact on several families I know, including my own. Long live TSF and may Tony enjoy his years to come as much as he has enjoyed the past! He earned (deserves) it!!
TSF is one of my favorite charities! The Tony Stewart Foundation has taken action to help provide love and support to underserved critically ill children, or those living with disabilities and their families.
The foundation also cares for animals who are endangered in one way or another. In times of disaster or times of distress people often half to make the heart wrenching decision to leave their beloved pets because they cannot provide the care that they need. It makes my heart feel good to know that there are people out there willing to step up to the plate and provide support for them. Everyone who loves animals know that they are not just "animals", but are family. Many depend on us for their care. And, their love for us is unconditional. They love us and accept us just as we are.
In addition, the foundation helps drivers in their time of need. Many of us love racing, not many of us provide support for them after they suffer an injury. For many, racing is the only source of income. We need to extend our love to them in their time of need, just as the provide entertainment for us when they are at the top of their game.
I 100% support these causes and efforts to help those who really need our help the most. Often children with disabilities are overlooked as are the animals that we love so much. Both are unable to provide for, or take care of themselves, and need our help, our love.
The best part of this foundation? 100% of the money goes to helping those in need.
I am a proud supporter of the foundation and only wish there was more that I could do.

Tony Stewart Foundation focus is on animals and children! Children are the future and Tony and his crew know that! We look forward to submitting our first grant request to their foundation. We hate to see Tony not racing but his heart is bigger than all the tracks out together when it comes to children charities and animals in need. We wish The Stewart Family continued successes on and of the track
The Tony Stewart Foundation is a great way to help out children and animal's organizations across the country. I couldn't be more proud to help out such a great cause! Thank you, TSF!
The foundation is awesome!! It does so much good in this world.. I am so glad to give donations to such a worthy cause!
The foundation is awesome to donate to and really cares about its donors as well as the many wonderful causes they support! I donate to them because not only am I supporting my favorite driver but I know that the money I donate is helping animal, children and driver causes around the country! It's easy for me because it means I don't have to personally vet each cause I want to donate to plus Tony's causes are right along the lines with my own!
