Leffler Charity Fund Established

In honor of NASCAR driver Jason Leffler, who lost his life in a racing accident this week, a trust fund has been established for his five-year-old son, Charlie Dean.

This trust will serve as the official Leffler Family fund, with all monies going directly to Charlie’s needs. Turner Scott Motorsports co-owner Harry Scott Jr., former Braun Racing owner Todd Braun and Steve Overholser, CFO of Great Clips, will serve as trustees.

Donations can be made to The Charlie Dean Leffler Discretionary Trust at: The Charlie Dean Leffler Discretionary Trust c/o SunTrust Bank, 232 Williamson Road Mooresville, NC 28117

A celebration of Jason Leffler’s life will be held on Wednesday, June 19. The service will be at Grace Covenant Church, located at 17301 Statesville Road in Cornelius, N.C. at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Charlie Dean Leffler Discretionary Trust.

[Editor's Note: We would think that the multi millionaire NASCAR drivers could each put $100,000 in a fund for Charlie Dean rather than them asking the fans to donate.]
