Brooklyn, MI – A community coming together for the benefit of others is what holiday time is all about, and that’s precisely what happened this past weekend at Michigan International Speedway when the track hosted its annual Track and Toy Drive.
Guests were able to take their cars for laps around the historic 2-mile oval of MIS in exchange for a new, unwrapped toy or a non-perishable food item. Nearly 1,600 vehicles came through the grounds of the track to take advantage of the opportunity, while at the same time providing relief for others who require it the most.
The unprecedented traffic of contributors resulted in the track collecting six truckloads of food for the St. Mary of Good Counsel in Adrian as well as the Brooklyn Food Pantry. More than 40 boxes of toys were donated, which went to the U.S. Marines Toys for Tots in both Jackson and Lenawee Counties.
