Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Motorsports Immersion Program
Operation Motorsport has partnerships with professional North American motorsports race teams that compete in a number of sanctioned racing series; the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA), SRO Blanc Pain World Challenge, and Canadian Touring Car Championships (CTCC). As well several race circuits provide value in kind to ease the financial burden of supporting Beneficiaries through tickets, RV locations and advertising. These race teams will embed Beneficiaries within their crew, and utilize Beneficiaries with specific skills and or interests and assign appropriate tasks and responsibilities, where the Beneficiary, under the mentorship of a team member, will endeavor to use any transferable skills they may have or develop and/or create an interest for a new passion or career path.
Through team immersion, race teams provide opportunities as crew members with specific jobs such as tire technician, fuel tech, fabrication tech, engine tech, data analysis, public relations, social media, photography, truck driver, hospitality, videographer, logistics, driver assistant, and vinyl tech. The Motorsports Immersion program exposes beneficiaries to career opportunities in motorsports, shows them their transferable skills and prepares them for the next step: the Engage program. Sport is important, it is restorative and healing, but it can’t just be about the here and now. The Motorsports Immersion program leads to our Engage program.
Diversionary Therapy eMotorsports
The Operation eMotorsports iRacing League is a structured virtual racing series that brings together beneficiaries, veterans, military members, race car drivers/crew members, and other supporters of the foundation to compete in a friendly virtual sports car racing environment.
