Programs and results
What we aim to solve
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 which 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 nations’ heroes first

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
These brave men and women are mortals’ 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 around 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 USMC Racing’s mission 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 in a unique bond of brother and sisterhood. A bond that we continue on the racetrack. We share our stories, our memories, our strife. All while crossing that checkered flag.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
By working within the racing industry, we have secured sponsors and donors, allowing us to run in 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 the cars however, we have all the safety equipment required to race safely, along with food and lodging provided at each event we enter.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
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 apart of our racing family don't 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.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
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 2021, find/purchase, or have donated a trailer which is not only capable of holding three cars but is enclosed in order to keep our equipment safe while we await our next event.
