Racing for Children is a program that was created in 2003 by Olson Motorsports, LLC
to generate free media exposure for ChildFund International [Formerly Christian
Children’s Fund], through the unique venue of worldwide auto racing.
The program has used the media exposure of auto racing in Olson’s Formula 2000
exploits in the USA as well as Formula Renault races in Asia to generate no-cost
publicity for ChildFund International.
To date, the program has generated significant free publicity for ChildFund
International, with total exposure via TV, print, radio and online to over 35 million
persons.
