For the Tourism Student Association at Arizona State University (TSA), this weekend is not just about watching thrilling races; it's about making a difference and creating unforgettable memories.
ASU's Tourism Student Association is renowned for its dedication to community service and fundraising efforts. Each year, this passionate group of students comes together to volunteer at the NASCAR Championship Weekend held at the iconic Phoenix Raceway. This event not only serves as a thrilling culmination of the NASCAR season but also as a prime opportunity for the association to raise funds for its various initiatives, opportunities and events. This year, the Tourism Student Association assembled a dream team of 49 enthusiastic Sun Devils, all of whom were eager to dedicate their weekend to making this NASCAR Championship Weekend a memorable and successful experience. Decked in Phoenix Raceway attire, they were ready to tackle every challenge that came their way.
Volunteering at an event of this magnitude is no small feat. The Tourism Student Association members took on various roles, ensuring the smooth running of the event. From managing entry gates' lots to assisting fans with information, TSA’s volunteers contributed to the overall success of the weekend. As the Tourism Student Association members geared up for this incredible opportunity, they expressed their gratitude to Phoenix Raceway’s Senior Director of Event Operations Gale Powers. Powers has consistently been a driving force behind their involvement in the NASCAR Championship Weekend. Her incredible support and commitment have been instrumental in making this volunteer effort a success year after year.
The significance of volunteering at events like NASCAR Championship Weekend goes far beyond just contributing to the ASU Tourism Student Association's fundraising goals. It's about building a sense of community, forming lasting friendships and creating unforgettable memories.
