Laurens County First Steps (LCFS), a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting early childhood education and family development in Laurens County, recently announced its participation in the NASCAR Day Giveathon 2025.
LCFS is one of only ten South Carolina organizations selected to benefit from this 27-hour online fundraising event.
The NASCAR Day Giveathon will kick off at 3:00 PM EDT on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, and continue through 6:00 PM EDT on Wednesday, May 14, 2025.
All funds raised during this event will directly support the integration of the Laurens School District 55 Dolly Parton Imagination Library affiliate program with the Laurens County First Steps program. This unification will ensure that all children across Laurens County can participate in a single, streamlined program.
The annual cost to maintain this expanded initiative is estimated at $46,204. With the community’s help, LCFS can provide a free book every month to 1,426 children from birth to age five — at a cost of just $2.70 per child.
