The Grappone Cares Contest consists of four rounds. In order to be as diverse as possible; this year Grappone has broken up the contest into three themes with the nominations centered around; Families and Children in Need, Animals in Need, and Environmentally Focused Organizations. Each round will host a different theme.
Speedway Children's Charities, the first round winner, is a non-profit organization that works to improve the lives of children. They provide funds for hundreds of non-profit organizations throughout the nation that meet the direct needs of children, no matter what obstacle the children are facing.
