Battle Scarred Motorsports

A Heroes Mental Health Resiliency Resource

Biloxi, MS   |  www.battlescarred.org

Mission

We are Battle Scarred Motorsports a non-profit charity organized and operated by veterans and active duty for our nation\u0027s heroes. These brave men and women are mortals\u2019 just like those they have sworn to protect. Many times, they can feel lonely or depressed. They are placing themselves on a pedestal of pride, unable to ask for help, and too fearful to look for it. This fear of seeking help causes some to drive hours to see a therapist outside their state, pay in cash, and use a fake name to avoid a paper trail. The fear causes many to hide the very thing that makes us human. This loneliness is a contributing factor to severe depression, homelessness, and suicide. It is our mission to provide an avenue for these heroes to talk to a family they once trusted with all their hearts. We have a

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Our brave men and women return home from lengthy deployments or clock out after a rough shift in need of a way to decompress safely. Since 2017 we have proudly given them a place to relax, relieve that stress, and be amongst a familiar family who understands the struggles that come with putting the needs of others before their own. We give them that place that allows them to be released from the grip of depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Our functional therapy provides a mental health resiliency that lives on in every life we touch, and we are proud of that fact. We will always put our nation's heroes first.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

These brave men and women are mortals like those they have sworn to protect. Many times, they can feel lonely or depressed. They are placing themselves on a pedestal of pride, unable to ask for help, and too fearful to look for it. This fear of seeking help causes some to drive hours to see a therapist outside their state, pay in cash, and use a fake name to avoid a paper trail. Fear causes many to hide the very thing that makes us human. This loneliness is a contributing factor to severe depression, homelessness, and suicide. Battle Scarred Motorsport's mission is to provide an avenue for these heroes to talk to a family they once trusted with all their hearts. We have all suffered through similar struggles throughout our lives. Our military and first responder communities share a unique bond of brother and sisterhood. A bond that we continue on the racetrack. We share our stories, our memories, and our strife. All while crossing that checkered flag.

We have secured sponsors and donors by working within the racing industry, allowing us to run 5-7 endurance racing events in as many states each year. Since 2017, we have increased to a total of three purpose-built race cars. Providing functional therapy (adrenaline therapy) for our military and first responder families. We have changed lives; we see it each time we hit the track. We provide much more than cars. However, we have all the safety equipment required to race safely and food and lodging provided at each event we enter.

We own three race cars, a 1996 Crown Victoria, a 2011 Crown Victoria (donated from the Richland County Sheriffs Dept, from Live PD), and a 1978 Camaro. Each car is purpose-built for endurance racing. The cars provide an on-track experience they will get nowhere else. These men and women who become a part of our racing family don\u0027t just race; they assist with repairs, pit stops, driver swaps, and fueling responsibilities. This cohesion-building weekend provides an invaluable experience that has been changing lives since 2017.

We started with one car and a 10x10 tent. In less than three years, we have expanded to three cars and a 30x20 tent, which at this point isn't even big enough. Looking to the future, we need a better way to move three cars as the trailer we own now only holds two. That is our goal for 2023, find/purchase or donate a trailer that cannot only hold three cars but is enclosed to keep our equipment safe while we await our next event.
