ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

Created in 2007 by NASCAR Sprint Cup winner Martin Truex Jr., the foundation is dedicated to positively impacting the lives of children in need. By partnering with organizations that are limited in funding and visibility, the foundation helps touch the lives of children stricken by illness, neglect and poverty. Through generous donations, lasting partnerships and charitable events such as the Angler Club and the annual MTJF Golf Tournament, the foundation has raised capital to fund initiative such as the Martin Truex Jr. Pediatric Care Center near Martin’s hometown in New Jersey. Locally, the group is working on a number of initiatives, including a backpack program in Iredell County.

FUND-RAISER FOR FRIENDS FOR LIFE

Lowes Foods will be hosting a spring fundraising BBQ and prize raffle for Friends for Life LKN at its Huntersville store on Saturday, May 15. The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The fundraiser is being held in appreciation for FFL taking into its rescue program seven black cats who  were abandoned in front of the Lowes Huntersville store last Christmas Eve.  A few of the Lowes cats who have not yet found forever homes (Lownly Boy, Lowensom, and Elowise) will be featured during the event, along with other pets available for adoption.

There will be a pet food collection during the event to help local animals during the event.
