350,000 race fans can leave a lot of trash behind after the Indianapolis 500. IMS pulls off the task of clean up by giving back to community organizations that volunteer to help out.
Southwood High School’s football team is one of them. Gabe Mealy is a senior on the team. He tells WISH-TV that he found a wallet one time in four years of volunteering. He didn’t keep it though.
I.M.S. will donate up to $6,000 to organizations that take part.
For Southwood, that means money for new helmets, pads, guardian caps, and cameras for game film.
