“It’s my favorite event”: Kelley Earnhardt urges fans to sign up for Dale Jr. Foundation’s ‘marquee event’ at Whisky River

Kelley Earnhardt Miller announced the 14th edition of Dale Jr. Foundation's marquee event, 'Driven to Give'. She urged fans to sign up for an exclusive experience of the event at their private Old Town Whisky River in Cleveland, North Carolina.

The Dale Jr. Foundation has hosted the annual fundraiser for the last 13 years, with the 14th edition scheduled on Tuesday, September 24, 2024. The event honors and recognizes the charities the foundation supports and the children who depend on its services.

With the event around the corner, Kelley Earnhardt Miller announced an exclusive opportunity for fans to be a part of the closed event. In a partnership with RTIC, she announced that three winners (each with a plus one guest) will get a chance to attend the Dale Jr. Foundation's fundraiser by signing up for the event.

"Driven to Give is just around the corner. It's the Dale Jr. Foundation's marquee event that happens every year. And this year RTIC wants to invite you and a guest to attend," she said in a video statement.

"It's my favorite event and gives me all the feels. We can't wait to have you join us this year at Whisky River," she added about the event.

The 14th Annual Driven to Give fundraiser includes a host of programs in the itinerary, including live music, silent auctions, raffle opportunities, and dinner. Multi-platinum record artist Chris Janson will be performing later in the evening.

According to The Dale Jr. Foundation, last year's event raised more than $440,000. The NASCAR Hall of Famer's foundation has raised over $11 million since 2007 to support five key areas: Hope, Hunger, Wellness, Education, and Empowerment.
