Last October, Tennessee Kids Belong returned to Bristol Motor Speedway for another unforgettable I Belong Project® filming day—made possible by a partner who has consistently shown up for kids in foster care across our state. For years, Bristol Motor Speedway has generously opened their doors, using their platform and resources to help amplify the voices of children who are waiting for a permanent family. Their ongoing support has helped create meaningful, joy-filled experiences where kids are not only seen and heard, but truly celebrated for who they are.
LET’S TAKE A MINUTE TO MEET THE KIDS
Today, we’re honored to introduce you to some of the incredible kids who were part of that day. Each one has a unique story, a vibrant personality, and a simple, powerful desire—to belong to a family. Please take a moment to click on each of their photos below, listen to their words, and consider taking the next step to learn more about their adoption needs.
COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Because of many who gave, kids in foster care were not only able to be given their best possible chance of a family by taking the time to share their story on film, but they were also able to experience the incredible impact of being wrapped by an amazing community.
Kids enjoyed unforgettable experiences racing around the speedway, intentional time with volunteers, special surprises , and personalized gifts – providing the opportunity for them to feel seen, valued, and celebrated.
A HUGE THANK YOU to each partner who gave of their time and gifts to every child who joined!
