Last week, an Aaron’s store located near Phoenix Raceway collaborated with the Boys & Girls Club to create a memorable community event for ten Club members. This occasion allowed young racing fans an exclusive glimpse into the world of NASCAR as they toured the Front Row Motorsports hauler, participated in a live broadcast with KALV-FM, and met professional driver Zane Smith, who generously signed autographs and shared his insights on chasing dreams in the racing industry.
“I was able to meet Zane, we had great food and tons of cool NASCAR stuff,” exclaimed Isaiah, a Boys & Girls Club member. “This was really fun, and thank you for the tour of that hauler!”
In a related effort, Stephanie Cooley, the Grand Prize winner of Aaron’s Fastlane to Phoenix Sweepstakes, enjoyed remarkable VIP experiences during race day. These included behind-the-scenes pit tours, driver meet-and-greets, premium hospitality suites, and trackside access, which highlighted her loyalty to the Aaron’s brand. “Thank you, Aaron’s, for this experience,” Stephanie said, expressing her excitement to watch the race and support Zane.
Steve Olsen, President of Aaron’s, emphasized the significance of such events, stating, “These events capture what Aaron’s is all about – celebrating our customers while also investing in the next generation. We’re proud to open the doors of this exciting sport to the communities we serve.”
Marcia Mintz, President and CEO of the local Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley, remarked on the value of partnerships like the one with Aaron’s, emphasizing that they create not just fun memories but also expand the horizons of the Club’s members, showcasing new possibilities for their futures.
Through initiatives that bridge the gap between community engagement and support for youth, Aaron’s is dedicated to celebrating its loyal customers while providing young people with exciting opportunities. The partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Front Row Motorsports serves as a testament to how shared experiences can have a transformative impact on the community.
