About the Greg Biffle Foundation
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. 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. Greg and Nicole have
three 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.
