Our Pillars

At Rising Athletes Chase Excellence (R.A.C.E.) Foundation, we believe success is measured by more than participation. Our programs are designed to create meaningful outcomes in the lives of youth by strengthening their academic engagement, behavior, health, and connection to their community.
