The Junior League of Richmond proudly announces the
9th Annual Touch a Truck Saturday, October 4, 2014 Richmond International Raceway Rain or Shine 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. - VIP Hour 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. - General Admission
Event Overview Touch a Truck provides a unique opportunity for children to explore vehicles of all types including public service, emergency, utility, construction, landscaping, transportation, delivery, and just plain cool – all in one place! Children will be allowed to touch their favorite vehicles, get behind the wheel, and meet the people who help to build, protect, and serve our community. Crafts, games, and food trucks will also be part of the day’s entertainment.
Attendance Now in its 9th year, Touch a Truck has quickly become a tradition for many metro-Richmond families with attendance averaging 3,500. Over 100 children and their families who participate in the Junior League’s community programs at Woodville Elementary School, Peter Paul Development Center, and Southside Child Development Center joined in the fun last year with complimentary passes provided through Classroom Sponsorship.
Sponsorship Opportunities Touch a Truck provides an excellent opportunity for sponsors to showcase their brand and interact with parents, children, League members, and the metro Richmond community-atlarge. There are multiple ways for your organization to participate: event sponsorship, program advertisement, performance, raffle donation, or in-kind support services.
Event Impact Last year’s event raised $35,000 to support the Junior League of Richmond’s mission of promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Our 950 members collaborate with partner agencies and community advisors to deliver 25,000 volunteer hours in the community each year. Our focus areas include children and families, literacy, health and well-being, mentoring, and family engagement.
