HIGHLAND, IL (June 19, 2013) CHS is excited to present Leaps of Love Family Fun Night at Highland Speedway on Saturday, June 22, 2013.

There will be many of the families that Leap of Love helps at the track that afternoon playing games, meeting the drivers as they arrive. “The kids are still talking about the Leaps of Love Night from last year, and they are looking forward to the fun that this night brings.
