Christian NASCAR Driver JJ Yeley Raises Money for Israel
By Movieguide® Contributor
In partnership with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (The Fellowship), NASCAR driver JJ Yeley announced the “Race to Support Israel” campaign to raise emergency aid funds for Israel.
“As a Christian, my faith has always been a guiding light for me,” Yeley said. “Partnering with The Fellowship to support Israel during these trying times is not just an opportunity but a calling. Together, we are making a difference by providing tangible assistance to those in need.”
“The needs [are] massive and urgent…please join me, my racing team and thousands of others by supporting the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,” he said in an Instagram video.
Through the partnership, Yeley will raise awareness for the war in Israel and funnel resources towards Israel’s vital needs. The money raised will go towards lifesaving medical care, food, water, clothing and providing first responders with essential emergency gear to provide proper treatment.
“You’ve seen the pictures, heard the stories. Please act now and support the people of Israel,” he urged.
Yeley is calling on NASCAR fans to donate to the cause through The Fellowship’s website.
“We are so inspired and encouraged by JJ’s action, and thrilled that he extended his helping hand in partnership,” said The Fellowship’s president and CEO, Yael Eckstein. “Our ministry was founded 40 years ago dedicated to building bridges of understanding and coorpoeration between Christians and Jews, and this partnership is a shining example of that. We look forward to working together to bless Israel in the time of her greatest need.”
Yeley has previously raised awareness through his driving. Earlier this year, Yeley’s car’s hood read “pray for covenant” with a link to a donation site after a shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee.
