This choice is completely up to your club. To raise funds for CART, our supporters have hosted music events, run the circumference of the earth, held go-CART races, golf tournaments, dance festivals and more.

Some clubs host events that support CART exclusively. Check out CART’s Facebook page to see some of the incredible fundraising efforts of our supporters. Mail a check for the proceeds to CART Treasurer, P.O. Box 1916, Sumter, SC 29151.
What is the annual giving minimum for a club that supports CART?
