K1 Speed Donates Over $100,000 to ASPCA for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month

IRVINE, Calif., April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- K1 Speed, the world's largest indoor go-kart racing operator, is proud to announce its donation of $104,169 to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in recognition of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month this April. This contribution underscores K1 Speed's commitment to animal welfare and the fight against cruelty to animals nationwide.

The donation supports the ASPCA's mission "to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States" by funding their various programs, including: fighting animal cruelty, rescuing and securing adoptions for animals in need, and driving legislative change.

The funds were raised collaboratively with Charity Benefits Unlimited (CBU), which has silent auction tables at most of K1 Speed's 66 nationwide locations. These silent auctions allow K1 Speed's customers to bid on authentic memorabilia from the worlds of sport, film, and television, with proceeds going to a charity of K1 Speed's choice.

"When choosing a charity, the ASPCA is always at the top of my list," says Susan Danglard, Co-Founder and CMO. "I'm a passionate supporter of animal welfare and have long admired the amazing work that the ASPCA has done to prevent cruelty to our furry friends. It's an absolute honor to present them with this contribution during Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month."

K1 Speed encourages additional donations to the ASPCA during Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month through the organization's website, www.aspca.org.
