Erik Jones Foundation Brings "Busload" of Fan Engagement and Sun Safety to Championship Weekend, Sets Record in the Process
The Erik Jones Foundation partnered with the Sun Bus, a Denver, Colorado-based non-profit organization, to bring skin cancer screenings and sun safety education to the NASCAR Championship weekend at Phoenix Raceway. The Sun Bus, a mobile clinic and classroom with the flexibility to target select audiences at significant events engaged fans, members of the NASCAR industry, and speedway volunteers throughout the weekend. Hundreds of people took advantage of the opportunity to have their skin checked for suspicious lesions indicative of skin cancer. Throughout the weekend, 245 people were screened, with 109 referred for follow-ups with their local dermatologists.
Erik's success in his racing career has given him the opportunity to give back to his community. In 2021, the Erik Jones Foundation was officially started as a Non-profit 501c-3 and allows him to continue his efforts to support initiatives close to his heart.
