The Greg Biffle Foundation for Animals was founded in 2005 by NASCAR Nextel Cup driver Greg Biffle and his girlfriend, Nicole Lunders, to create awareness and serve as an advocate to improve the well-being of animals by engaging the power and passion of the motorsports industry. The foundation donates to local Humane Societies, no-kill animal shelters, spay and neuter clinics and the Animal Adoption League.
In 2006, the Foundation brought some relief to four animal shelters in the New Orleans area by donating funds to help cover the costs of damages caused by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Greg and Nicole toured the New Orleans facilities and with the help of the Humane Society of the United States, identified the shelters that need immediate assistance. Each received $10,000 for supplies and repairs.
The GBF also made a donation to the North Shore Animal League, the world's largest no-kill animal shelter, to help cover the costs of transporting over 300 animals out of Texas. The funding for this disaster relief was raised through direct donations and an eBay auction.
2006 also saw the successful launch of the NASCAR Pets Calendar, which features Nextel Cup drivers and their pets. In its inaugural year, the calendar exceeded expectations by selling over 50,000 copies and requiring a second printing. The 2007 calendar, which welcomed Pedigree, the official pet care product of NASCAR, as a sponsor, is currently available through Amazon or the Greg Biffle Foundation Store, where fans can also make a donation. Proceeds from calendar sales benefit the GBF.
