TRIANGLE, Va., June 3, 2025 — Marine Toys for Tots continued their long-standing partnership with Richard Childress Racing (RCR) this past Sunday. They sponsored Austin Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet at the Nashville race to highlight their shared mission of hope on a national level. Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet prominently displayed the Toys for Tots logo, representing compassion, resilience, and the impact of giving at high speed.

Dillon took to the track on June 1 at 6:00 p.m., racing with a purpose to represent the millions of American families who depend on the generosity of Toys for Tots and the public. His impact extended beyond the race’s conclusion.

“This race was more than just a competition; it symbolized the resilience and potential of children across America,” stated LtGen Jim Laster, USMC (Retired), President & CEO of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. “Together with Richard Childress Racing, we were honored to raise awareness for our mission and empower communities to make a lasting positive impact on disadvantaged children’s lives.”

Toys for Tots provides year-round support, not just during Christmas, offering joy, emotional support, and a sense of normalcy to children in need through toys, books, and other gifts. As the program broadens its reach beyond the holiday season, its collaboration with RCR and Austin Dillon is helping to advance that mission with renewed vigor.

“Our dedication to providing consistent hope and support remains strong, as no child living in poverty should be forgotten or left behind,” says LtGen Laster. “The partnership with RCR and Austin Dillon presents new opportunities for Toys for Tots to broaden its mission, ensuring disadvantaged children receive the hope and support they deserve.”

Beyond the excitement of the race, this partnership shows the impact of combining passion with purpose. Similar to a successful race, helping children prosper requires teamwork, perseverance, and a shared belief in a cause greater than oneself.

With Austin Dillon driving, this collaboration continues to increase awareness and mobilize support. This ensures that the spirit of giving extends beyond the holiday season and into the daily lives of children who need it most. Each lap in Nashville represented a call to unite and create a future filled with hope, promise, and opportunity, not just a competition.
