Mar 4, 2025 | Community Involvement

On Saturday, March 1st, our LBJ and Navarro Club members had the ultimate race day experience at the Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas, thanks to a special invitation from Bubba Wallace’s Live to Be Different Foundation! 🏁🏎️

From the thrill of the track to an exclusive interview with Bubba Wallace, our members got a firsthand look at the world of motorsports. They even had the chance to ask Bubba questions and snap a special group photo—a moment they’ll never forget!

“Growth means understanding that things won’t always go your way. A year ago, I’d get frustrated by mistakes because I was trying too hard. Now, I see them as a sign of progress—proof that I’m pushing myself and discovering my limits.”

This outing was more than just a day at the races—it was a chance for our members to see firsthand how dedication, perseverance, and passion can pave the way for success. 

“This experience was very exciting, and I got to learn new things about Bubba Wallace. I’m grateful for the opportunity the Boys & Girls Clubs give for kids to dream big.” — Navarro BGC Member Na’Siah.

We are incredibly grateful to Bubba Wallace’s Live to be Different Foundation for making this experience possible and for showing our members that their dreams are within reach.
