Through the FedEx Cares global charitable platform, FedEx and its team members are able to show their passion about sustainably connecting people and places and improving the quality of life around the world.
Last year, FedEx donated more than $45 million to charitable organizations in communities around the world and FedEx team members have volunteered nearly 70,000 hours of service.
The paint scheme on Hamlin's Toyota will highlight 10 charitable organizations that FedEx supports, including Autism Speaks, American Red Cross, Direct Relief, Safe Kids, Junior Achievement Worldwide, United Negro College Fund, FIRST, Arbor Day Foundation, St. Jude and March of Dimes.
