Richard Childress Partners With Morgan & Morgan To Donate $100,000 a Month After Honoring Military Veterans

Richard Childress’ team may have had a poor season in the 2023 Cup Series but that has not stopped the team owner from indulging in philanthropic gestures. There are a great many issues that have attracted the legendary NASCAR team owner’s attention. Only last month, he honored the country’s brave servicemen in the military at Greensboro. It was revealed recently that the 78-year-old has partnered up with one of the biggest legal firms in the world for a great cause.

Richard Childress has always had other interests apart from racing. The 78-year-old is a well-known activist for the conservation of our planet’s natural resources. Being an avid hunter and fisherman, the NASCAR team owner supports a number of organizations with the same goal. Some of these include the Congressional Sportsman Foundation, Boone & Crocket Club, Ducks Unlimited, and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.

Richard Childress wins hearts with important donation

Richard Childress won a lot of hearts across the country last month when he honored the brave men and women who risk life and limb on the battlefield. The 78-year-old is the co-owner of the Carolina Cowboys, the region’s only professional bull riding team. They hosted their second annual homestand, Cowboy Days, from September 22-24 in Greensboro. Childress gave 1000 tickets, honoring US military veterans and active duty service members.

“I believe in patriotism and American pride. Recognizing our veterans is important because they are true heroes. We owe a lot to these men and women, and I hope that those who served are able to come out to Cowboy Days and enjoy a fun, action-packed bull riding event,” Childress had said at the time.

This time, he is turning to helping out children with pediatric trauma. Along with his wife Judy, the NASCAR veteran had founded the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma (CIPT) in 2008 after Richard Childress was made aware of the lack of support and financing for pediatric trauma in the country.

Most of the institute’s efforts are directed towards discovering and sharing the best ways to prevent and treat severe injuries to children. That is where the 78-year-old will turn his attention to this month. After partnering with John Morgan, the multi-millionaire founder of Morgan & Morgan, Richard Childress will be donating $100,000 to CIPT.

While his off-track ventures are indeed quite heartwarming, things have not gone to plan for Richard Childress in the world of racing. RCR was recently caught up in a massive contract drama with a playoff driver and things were a bit awkward on social media.

RCR had announced that Sheldon Creed would not be part of the team in 2024. This decision infuriated a lot of fans. Creed has been in fantastic form this season and is currently competing in the playoffs. It was in bad taste on RCR’s part to announce his future at that point in time.

But a PR drama unfolded shortly after as Sheldon Creed sent out a tweet where he made it read like it was his idea to leave RCR and not the other way around. This confused a lot of fans and insiders. Veteran NASCAR spotter Brett Griffin was fuming at the PR disaster that had unfolded.

“It’s a shame teams and drivers have lost their way from a PR perspective. RCR. He ain’t coming back. Creed. We left. What a damn disaster. Act like grown people,” Griffin had tweeted implicating both RCR and Sheldon Creed.

Regardless of whose decision it was, fans were not happy. Many people called it nepotism on Richard Childress’ part so that his out-of-seat grandson Ty Dillon could have a full-time Xfinity Series role next season. Let us know your thoughts on the matter.
