Jimmie Johnson to Wear the Blue Bunny Helmet of Hope at Kentucky

Fund Raising Visor Auction closes on July 20, 2018

In 2014, the Jimmie Johnson Foundation Wellness Challenge (JJFWC) was born. The JJFWC is dedicated to assisting children, families and communities in need throughout the United States. Since inception, the foundation has raised more than $400,000 for K-12 public education.

Seven-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion Jimmie Johnson will highlight the Jimmie Johnson Foundation this weekend during the Quaker State 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta. In addition to wearing the Blue Bunny Helmet of Hope, which honors five charities working to improve K-12 public education, a special Jimmie Johnson Foundation (JJF) paint scheme will be featured on his No. 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet

"I'm thrilled to be able to share and celebrate the work of the Foundation this weekend," said Johnson. "Chandra (wife) and I are so grateful to Lowe's for allowing us to run the Foundation paint scheme for the thirteenth time, Blue Bunny for sponsoring the Helmet of Hope program again this year, and all of the drivers participating in the visor campaign. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our partners and the NASCAR community, we are able to provide much needed financial support to some outstanding non-profits and schools through Foundation programs."

The Blue Bunny Helmet of Hope program allows fans and consumers across the country to nominate and vote on not-for-profit (501c3) organizations that support K-12 public education. Each of the recipients was also awarded a $25,000 grant and a Blue Bunny Ice Cream party.

This weekend @KYSpeedway is all about #TeamJJF! Thanks to @Lowes for generously allowing us to run the JJF Paint Scheme, @Blue_Bunny #HelmetofHope AND the JJF Visor Campaign. Pay close attention for ways you can help us support K-12 public schools. pic.twitter.com/UsEnj4iRZT
