The Knoxville Racing Charitable Organization recently announced the postponement of its in-person fundraising event in February. However, the organization is still open to donations to cover needs at the Raceway. President Maureen Nichols explains that people can use a popular web service to donate to their cause.
“Everybody orders off Amazon. With Amazon Smiles, you register your same account on Amazon Smiles and you can choose a charity. We’re not the only one, but we’d love you to choose ours. Every time you place an order on Amazon, we get one penny for every dollar. And every quarter, they mail us a check. We have a lot of people that use that, and it’s a great time for using it. So if anyone wants to register on Amazon Smiles and choose KRCO, you can help in that way.”
Nichols also says that this is no extra money out of people’s pockets, as Amazon Smiles matches the amount.
