Kart 4 Kids brings top names in racing, amateurs together

Before IndyCar hits the streets of downtown St. Petersburg for this weekend's Firestone Grand Prix, some of the biggest names in motorsports will first take the wheel of go-karts to raise money for children.

Kart 4 Kids is a non-profit organization that raises money for Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, specifically through its Pro-Am Kart Race. The race, held Wednesday (Feb. 23) at Andersen Race Park in Palmetto, raised $300,000 last year, and has surpassed $1 million in total donations since its humble beginnings a decade ago.
