La Crosse Speedway drivers help provide merry Christmas for local families
Eight La Crosse area families received many bags full of gifts on Friday, as part of an annual Christmas celebration involving local race car drivers.
Henderson Motorsports presented the gifts to families from the La Crosse and West Salem school districts, during a party at Pischke Motors in downtown La Crosse.
Three race vehicles driven at area tracks were on display inside the Pischke showroom during the event.
This is the sixth year that driver Matt Henderson and his racing family have been involved in raising money and buying presents for needy families.
The families chosen this year received presents such as games, basketballs, and clothing.

Charity doesn’t count if people find out.

I never understand why some people post comments like the above. Is there only one “correct” way to be charitable? I see a group of hard working people doing their best to give back. I see families having a wonderful Christmas. Is awareness of this event bad? If just one person has their life changed for the better, then it is a success regardless if anonymous or not. Luckily this area is fortunate enough to have philanthropic people, rather than those who simply judge. Keep up the hard work Henderson’s! You continue to set an example of doing the right thing!
