Roc Solid Playset Build:

As part of a continued partnership with the Roc Solid Foundation, Matt Kaulig and Kaulig Giving took part in their fifth playset build on Wednesday, June 4 in Akron, Ohio.

Kaulig and the Kaulig Companies volunteers were guided through the playset-building process by the Roc Solid Foundation. The team ended the day with a grand reveal to A’Marii, the playset recipient, and his family. At four years old with a love for dinosaurs, bikes, toys and music, A’Marii is fighting leukemia.

When a child sees their playset for the first time, the very last thing on their mind is cancer. That is the moment when the power of play defeats cancer.

Kaulig Giving believes in making a lasting impact in the community by supporting the the well-being of children and their families. To date, Kaulig Giving has given to over 400 501c3 organizations.

“It’s really special to be a part of this event and have a hands-on role. When you think about a four-year-old kid that has leukemia, they are going through some really hard times. We get to be in his backyard, building his playground and that brings him a little bit of joy. It makes him feel good and it makes you feel good. It’s not all about giving money, it’s about actually physically doing something and helping families out and our Kaulig Companies group gets to do that.”

“Michigan is just a super-fast racetrack, and I’ve enjoyed running it the last couple years in the Cup car. Last year we had good speed, and I feel like our big track program is probably where we excel right now at Kaulig Racing. I’m excited to get to Michigan and see what we have and knowing it’s a place we can go and have a good run. It’s a tough racetrack just in the sense of a lot of on throttle time and track position is always critical. Hopefully we can unload pretty close, which I think we’ve done a pretty good job at most racetracks and have good qualifying effort and a really good run.”
