Hi-Tide Boat Lifts Announces 2016 'Kids on Track' Program

FT. PIERCE, FL--(Marketwired - Nov 18, 2015) - Hi-Tide Boat Lifts, a leader in the boat lift manufacturing industry, today announces the launch of its 2016 'Kids on Track' program, which will 'lift' children throughout the country by providing them with unique access to Indy Car racing events in the Mazda Road to Indy series.

Throughout 2016, Hi-Tide will work with local charities in 10 cities to grant children and their guardians and/or sponsors free access to Mazda Road to Indy racing events, take behind-the-scenes tours of the racetrack, meet Mazda Road to Indy drivers and more.

The Kids on Track program began in early 2015, when Hi-Tide Boat Lifts announced its sponsorship of as part of its initiative to 'lift' the South Florida community and encourage them to pursue their dreams.

Hi-Tide CEO Craig Wood's passion for motorsports and desire to make a difference in the lives of youth prompted the company to sponsor South Florida-based Mazda Road to Indy driver Kyle Connery in early 2015. That experience inspired Hi-Tide to sponsor the entire Mazda Road to Indy series, and expand the Kids on Track program. Hi-Tide partnered with local Big Brother Big Sisters chapters in various U.S. cities throughout 2015 to provide 'bigs' and 'littles' within the organization an unforgettable day at the races.

"Giving back to the community has always been an important part of our business model at Hi-Tide," said Craig Wood. "Kids on Track not only allows us to give back, but it also presents us with the unique opportunity to influence and encourage underprivileged youth by exposing them to a new life experience. We are excited for the 2016 season."

Kids on Track kicks-off on March 11, 2016, at the first Mazda Road to Indy race in St. Petersburg, Florida.
