Verizon, INDYCAR and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway are joining forces for a HopeLine drive throughout May to raise critical funds and awareness of domestic violence prevention. We’re inviting racing fans to bring their no-longer-used wireless phones and accessories from any wireless carrier to donation sites throughout Indiana.

A $50,000 HopeLine grant was presented to the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence due to a statewide shortfall in its Emergency Housing and Transportation Survivor Fund. The Indiana drive is also part of a national goal from HopeLine to collect 1 million phone donations in 2015

Race fans can check for HopeLine volunteers and boxes at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway – just check the complete list for event dates at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway listed below. Please keep donating through June 7 and tweet us your donation using #VZHopeLineIN! It’s a simple way to support an important cause.
