Mission
The Greg Biffle Foundation was founded in 2005 by Greg and Nicole Biffle to create awareness and serve as an advocate to improve the well-being of animals by engaging the power and passion of the motor sports industry. Financial support for the foundation comes from a variety of sources including individual contributions, NASCAR Pets calendars, and the sale of various racing and other sports memorabilia.

General Information
Since its creation, The Greg Biffle Foundation has awarded grants to humane societies and animal shelters from coast to coast. Representing the best interests of the animals and using the full potential of each participant's involvement is the purpose for the Greg Biffle Foundation. Our mission is specifically intended to demonstrate our focus. Through partnerships and activities to come, we intend to draw together the best efforts of all animal lovers.

Greg and Nicole have four dogs – Foster and his daughter Gracie, a pair of Boxers who are very familiar to race fans across the country. Foster even graced the front of a Milk Bones box in 2004. The latest addition is Savannah, who was rescued from a Georgia shelter.

Community Involvement
Greg and Nicole are active participants in many community outreach programs. Nicole is the board president of the Iredell Friends of the Animals while Greg has actively taken on the role as board vice president. Friends of the Animals aims to assist the county in creating more adoptions so there are fewer animals euthanized each year. The goal is to build a state of the art no-kill facility and adoption education center. Greg and Nicole are also on the National Advisory Board for the North Shore Animal League.

During the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Greg and Nicole spent a lot of time raising money to send to the animals that were in the path of the devastating hurricane. The destruction of the hurricane was so overwhelming for Greg and Nicole that they were determined to help in any way possible. The Foundation created a special donation section on their website, called Racing for Katrina where they accepted personal donations and set up a special eBay auction of donated items from fellow drivers and other athletes. The Greg Biffle Foundation raised and donated $50,000.00 for the animal victims of Hurricane Katrina. They gave $10,000.00 each to four shelters as well as $10,000.00 to the North Shore Animal League who flew a plane down and rescued over 300 animals that had been evacuated to Texas and were in danger for the second time from Hurricane Rita. Before the Talladega race, Greg and Nicole flew down to New Orleans with a representative from the Humane Society of the United States and toured one of the affected shelters to whom they donated $10,000.00.

Greg and Nicole participate in the annual NASCAR Day Telethon where over pledges are called in during the all-day event. The Greg Biffle Foundation raised more than $10,000 during the event for future grant allocations in 2007. For two years in a row Greg and Nicole have participated in the Dover track walk with fans, also for the benefit of the Foundation.

Spay/Neuter Initiatives
Greg teamed up with additional NASCAR drivers to help support Spay Day USA, a national campaign of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to promote the life-saving benefits of spay/neuter. Greg believes that aggressive spay/neuter projects and progressive legislation in the many areas of the northeast have addressed the pet overpopulation problem and hopes more states learn from their efforts on behalf of animal control and emulate their success over time.

Puppy Transports
The Greg Biffle Foundation has helps sponsor the transportation of puppies from several North Carolina kill-shelters. The Foundation has partnered with the North Shore Animal League of America, the world's largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption center, to transport 40 puppies a month to their no-kill shelter in Port Washington, New York. The on-going transport allows these humane societies and shelters the opportunity to get puppies into loving homes instead of euthanizing them.

Donations/Grants
The Greg Biffle Foundation accepts grant applications throughout the year. During the 2007 grant cycle, more than 150 applications were received and the Foundation broke their donation record by providing monetary grants to 51 humane societies, animal shelters and spay/neuter clinics throughout the United States.
In addition to grants, the Foundation donates numerous autographed items each year. Greg and Nicole believe that it is important to give back to the community and they generously support the work of nonprofit organizations across the country by donating various autographed items for auctions and events.

NASCAR Pets Calendar
The Greg Biffle Foundation has produced the popular NASCAR Pets Calendar for the last four years. The calendar was the starting point for the foundation in 2005. Greg and Nicole knew they wanted to raise money to help animals and the idea for the calendar was born. The response to the first edition made it the best selling item on NASCAR.com that year.

The 2008 NASCAR Pet Calendar edition is the best one yet with returning NASCAR personalities such as Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth, Jamie McMurray, Casey Mears and Tony Stewart. The new faces of the 2008 calendar include Kurt Busch, David Gilliland, Dale Jarrett, Jimmie Johnson, David Ragan and William France, Jr.
