All proceeds from the auction of Jimmie Johnson's 2006 #48 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS race car will benefit the Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte, NC, through the Hendrick Foundation for Children. Established in 2004, the Hendrick Foundation for Children provides programs and services to benefit youngsters with illness, injury, disability or other hindrance. The organization has raised millions of dollars toward community-oriented initiatives that improve the quality of children's lives. In 2005, the Hendrick Foundation for Children committed $3 million to assist in the establishment of the Levine Children's Hospital, a world-class facility dedicated to the needs of children and their families. In recognition of the gift, the hospital dedicated its pediatric intensive care centers in honor of Rick Hendrick's late son, Ricky. The hospital opened in October 2007. The Ricky Hendrick Centers for Intensive Care includes the Levine Children's Hospital's Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and the region's first Pediatric Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit. The intensive care floor was designed keeping in mind the special needs of the families of the most critically ill or injured children.
