Local Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation Volunteer Tammy Richardson Nominated for National NASCAR Foundation Award
Tammy Richardson, volunteer for the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation (NCCF), has been selected as one of four national finalists for The NASCAR Foundation’s Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award. The winner, chosen by popular vote, will receive a $100,000 donation to their organization from The NASCAR Foundation.
The Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award honors volunteers who dedicate their time and heart to children’s causes in their communities. Tammy’s 14-year commitment to NCCF has been in honor of her daughter, Stephanie, whom she lost to cancer. Along with her husband, Stephanie brings more than 20 new and repeat volunteers to NCCF’s annual Camp Cartwheel event.
Camp Cartwheel welcomes more than 200 children each year and 160 volunteers for an overnight and medically-supervised camp. Tammy, better known as “Mos-mom of seven,” continues to participate on the camp planning committee and shares her personal story to donors, visitors and volunteers to provide encouragement, support and compassion.
