The NASCAR KidVenturez Experience
Our NASCAR KidVenturez weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway has been a 12-year tradition. This action packed weekend for boys offers enrichment around the thrill of motorsports along with outdoor adventure. Our group participates in many speedway festivities before attending the night race followed by a Sunday morning chapel time. This is one of our most popular KidVenturez experiences.
The Bass Pro Shops Night Race
The Bass Pro Shops Night Race is a NASCAR Cup Series stock car race held at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee. It is one of two NASCAR Cup Series races held at Bristol, the other being the Food City 500, but it is by far the more popular of the two. The race is currently the final race in the NASCAR playoffs’ Round of 16.
Bristol Motor Speedway
Bristol Motor Speedway, formerly known as Bristol International Raceway and Bristol Raceway, is a NASCAR short track venue located in Bristol, Tennessee. Constructed in 1960, it held its first NASCAR race on July 30, 1961. Bristol is among the most popular tracks on the NASCAR schedule because of its distinct features, which include extraordinarily steep banking, an all-concrete surface, two pit roads, and stadium-like seating. It has also been named one of the loudest NASCAR tracks. The track is billed as the “World’s Fastest Half-Mile”, even though that designation technically belongs to the Volusia Speedway Park dirt track.
Bristol Motor Speedway is the fourth-largest sports venue in America and the tenth largest in the world, seating up to 153,000 people. The speeds are far lower than is typical on most NASCAR oval tracks, but they are very fast compared to other short tracks due to the high banking. Those features make for a considerable amount of car contact at the NASCAR races as the initial starting grid of 40 vehicles each in the Cup and Xfinity Series, and 32 in the Truck Series, extends almost halfway around the track, meaning slower qualifiers begin the race almost half a lap down.
Rise Against Hunger Meal Packaging Event
VOLUNTEER Opportunity: Rise Against Hunger is a global movement to end hunger by empowering communities, nourishing lives and responding to emergencies. On March 19 we will again be partnering with our friends at Ooltewah UMC for a meal-packaging event coordinated to help feed tens of thousands of hungry children. We need many volunteers (ages 5 and up) to help pack the meals on Saturday morning. This is a great outreach opportunity for families to work together in a fun way to prepare nutritious meals for underserved communities and crisis situations around the world.

International Prisoner’s Family Conference
The InterNational Prisoner’s Family Conference was initiated in 2009 to address critical issues of those affected by incarceration personally and/or professionally. The conference has attracted attendees from across the country and abroad.
WHEN: OCTOBER 16, 17 & 18, 2019 DALLAS, TEXAS CLICK HERE FOR REGISTRATION INFO
THE CONFERENCE GOAL
The conference goal is to strengthen the entire prison family and promote successful reentry and reunification, reducing the rate of recidivism by providing critical connections, information and resources for families and secular and faith based organizations serving prisoners and their families.
CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS
Like most conferences, this one features dynamic knowledgeable speakers and provides opportunities to learn best practice approaches and exchange creative ideas, but it is so much more. It offers such amazing opportunities to network and receive and provide encouragement and support that it has even been described as “magical!” However, the “magical” part of this conference is intangible and cannot be fully understood without actually being there. But here are some of the tangible highlights:
Families – The conference offers prison family members the opportunity to meet and share with other family members experiencing similar concerns. Participants build many lasting friendships for on-going support and encouragement.
InterNational Experts – Participate in the largest international conference specifically addressing issues relevant to all prison families. Learn from the private and public, secular and faith based sectors, including criminal justice; social service; academia; ministry and others serving the prisoner and their family and from prison family members themselves, including successfully reintegrated former prisoners.
One on One Meetings – You will have ample opportunity to meet and share ideas and information with other attendees from various non-profits, federal, state and local agencies and faith-based organizations, as well as members of prison families from across the country and even internationally. This allows for discussion of potential collaborations.
Exhibitors Showcase – Speakers, attendees and sponsors showcase services and offer resource materials and literature. This event engages a wide variety of secular and faith-based organizations serving prisoners, family members and experts in the field.
Prisoners Fine Art Display & Silent Auction – Attendees have the opportunity to vote on the winners of the annual conference prisoners’ fine art competition, as well as to view the exceptional works of artists behind bars. The small art works are available for silent auction, and winning attendees will take home a lovely memory of the conference.
Social Networking – Social networking will help you connect with many participants prior to and following the conference by simply “liking” the Prisoner’s Family Conference Facebook page. You may also follow us on Twitter by connecting with #PrisonersFC.
Advocacy Participation – The conference Advocacy in Action Coalition meetings offer those with significant concerns about criminal justice at any and all levels the opportunity to engage in actively advocating for needed change. Uniting to voice concerns strengthens each individual voice and possibilities for change.
International Network for Children with Incarcerated Parents – Meet with caring individuals from around the world, working to improve the conditions for children.
Professionals– Those employed throughout the criminal justice system, as well as college and university students preparing for careers that will place them in contact with prisoners and prison family members have a special opportunities for facilitated discussion and meetings with those most directly impacted by the criminal justice system.
