The No. 22 Penske Racing driver founded the Joey Logano Foundation, which has pledged to donate $50,000 to Folds of Honor, a nonprofit organization that provides educational scholarships to families of military men and women who have been killed or disabled while serving in the armed forces.
“On behalf of Folds of Honor, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Joey for the generous donation from the Joey Logano Foundation,” said Folds of Honor Founder Major Dan Rooney. “Families are left with both emotional and financial burdens when there is a fallen or injured soldier, and it’s our goal to assist them during the most difficult time. With this donation, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of military families nationwide.”

No. 4 spot in the Sprint Cup driver standings.
“As an American, I’m proud to support Folds of Honor and give back to the families of soldiers killed or wounded while serving our country to protect our freedoms,” Logano said. “It’s extremely humbling to hear the stories of the Folds of Honor families and I am honored to support such a patriotic cause.”
Gifts to the Folds of Honor, similar to that of the Joey Logano Foundation, support educational scholarships and financial needs of military families whose loved ones have been killed or disabled while in active duty. They help support private education tuition, tutoring and educational summer camps for children K-12 and higher education tuition assistance for spouses and children.
At the presentation ceremony, Logano and Major Rooney were joined by members of the Sweger family, Folds of Honor scholarship recipients.

Sweger and his wife Claudia live in Salina, Okla., with their eight-year-old triplet sons, Briggs, Brett and Brooks, who are Folds of Honor Children’s Fund Scholarship recipients.
“There are a lot of financial needs that come along with raising triplets, and the Folds of Honor scholarships that our family receives help me by relieving that financial burden,” said Sgt. Sweger. “I’m able to focus my energy elsewhere and become a better dad and husband. We are proud and grateful Folds of Honor scholarship recipients.”
