The Denny Hamlin Foundation has raised $2.5 million for organizations that focus on cystic fibrosis research, treatment advances, and overall quality of life care.

The Denny Hamlin Foundation is committed to raising awareness and funds for the specific needs of children, especially those with cystic fibrosis and other chronic diseases. In fact, DHF has contributed nearly half of the $2.3 Million it has donated to date towards childhood disease and cystic fibrosis programs, including those at Children's Hospital of Richmond (Va.) and MUSC Children's Health in Charleston (S.C.), to help fund research, treatment advances, and overall quality of life care.

To fulfill its promise, DHF has hosted the long-running ProAm Jam concert/golf event in Charleston, S.C. and the ShortTrack Showdown, a late model racing event hosted at various Virginia-based short tracks.

So many things in life make no sense, yet there is no Biblical mandate or cosmic law to indicate that they should. Bad things happen and still God is good and loves us and has a good plan for our lives. Somehow those things fit together. We are not entitled to an explanation nor do we always come to a place of peace with our trials and tribulations. But make no mistake, they are purposeful and do work together for our good. That is a promise we can cling to.
