About Stocks for Tots
Stocks For Tots was created as a way to bring
together stock car racing and its fans, while raising awareness of
the child abuse problem in North Carolina. The idea was to collect
toys and raise money during a festive, family-oriented holiday
event.
The first fundraiser was held at the Mooresville Armory in December
1989. Since then, the annual event has raised over $850,000 and
distributed nearly 50,000 Christmas toys to children in our area.
Each year thousands of people visit Mooresville for our annual
event, where they get to see many of their favorite NASCAR & NHRA
drivers / celebrities, as well as their show cars on display and
even a visit from Santa himself.
