JJ Yeley Race to Support Israel: In a notable and heartwarming announcement, NASCAR driver JJ Yeley has proudly unveiled a partnership with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (The Fellowship) to launch a compelling campaign known as “Race to Support Israel.” This initiative is set to not only foster awareness but also raise critical funds to support The Fellowship’s emergency aid efforts in the wake of the devastating attacks on Israel by Hamas.
The exciting collaboration is set to take center stage in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and Cup Series races. It will kick off with the eagerly anticipated Contender Boats 300 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway on October 21, 2023, followed by the NASCAR Xfinity Series event in Martinsville, Virginia, scheduled for October 28-29, 2023.
The genesis of this partnership can be traced back to the recent tragic onslaught on Israel by Hamas terrorists, an event that sent shockwaves through the nation and culminated in an all-encompassing conflict. JJ Yeley, a devout Christian, found himself deeply moved by the mission of The Fellowship and felt compelled to offer his assistance in these trying times.
“As a Christian, my faith has always illuminated my path. Joining hands with The Fellowship to stand by Israel during these tumultuous days is not just an opportunity; it’s a calling. Together, we are making a tangible difference by providing crucial aid to those in need,” Yeley affirmed with conviction.
The collaboration between JJ Yeley and The Fellowship is not just about raising funds; it’s about raising awareness. The funds generated through this initiative will be channeled toward providing essential care and aid to those affected by the recent crisis. This will encompass establishing bomb shelters, supplying emergency aid, and fulfilling basic needs for evacuees and the elderly. From food and water to clothing and medicine, every facet of assistance is being addressed. Additionally, first responders and volunteers will be equipped with imperative emergency gear, including flak jackets, flashlights, and medical equipment to treat the injured.
Yael Eckstein, the esteemed President and CEO of The Fellowship, expressed profound gratitude for the establishment of this inspiring partnership. “JJ’s actions have ignited a flame of inspiration within us. We are thrilled that he has extended his helping hand, and this partnership exemplifies our core mission. Our ministry, which has been in operation for 40 years, is dedicated to fostering understanding and cooperation between Christians and Jews. This collaboration stands as a shining testament to that mission. We eagerly look forward to working hand in hand to support Israel in its time of greatest need,” she warmly articulated.
