Circle Heart’s Mission

I wanted to operate Circle Heart Racing as a platform to bring donations and recognition to children in need including the organizations that support them. “I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to drive a race car, have 3 loving children and 7 grandchildren so it’s important that I  give back on and off the track.” For the past 7 years Circle Heart Racing has been heavily involved with numerous charities in the Atlanta and surrounding area. Most notably is Speedway Children’s Shelter where Ron serves on the board of trustees and on the Grant Review Committee. I work closely with many other non-profit organizations like Gwinnett Children’s Shelter, Piedmont CASA, KidStuff-USA, A Friends House, Noah’s Ark and more.

Please support Circle Heart Racing with our challenging endeavor to help provide for children in need, they are counting on us for smiles of the future. Share my passion!
