About Us
Our Story
In December of 2005, one of the racing community's finest was diagnosed with ALS. Following this devastating diagnosis, there was an amazing outpouring of love and support shown by many, and they all wanted to know what they could do to help.
Out of this love and support, a group of dear friends joined together to form a non-profit group called A Race Worth Winning-ALS. The purpose of this group was to create awareness of ALS within the community and to raise money to help those suffering from this debilitating disease.
In connection with their efforts, the members of A Race Worth Winning have not only inspired many to open their hearts and join them in accomplishing their purpose, they have also helped give a voice to the individuals and their families who struggle with the devastating effects of ALS on a daily basis. Collectively, A Race Worth Winning and each and every one of the group's supporters have made the harsh reality of a diagnosis of ALS much more bearable.
In the past two years, A Race Worth Winning has raised over $75,000 as a result of the generosity of those who have decided to join the group in an effort to make a difference in the lives of families living with ALS. All of the money A Race Worth Winning has raised has been donated to the Minnesota Chapter of ALS and earmarked for research and medical equipment. Although A Race Worth Winning is extremely grateful for the love and support they have received thus far, the group is far from being done!
If you are interested in joining A Race Worth Winning, or if you are wondering how you can help, please contact us! Together, we can make a difference!

Mission
We exist as a group to raise awareness of the disease ALS and to raise money to support research for the treatment and cure of ALS.
We will use our God given talents, passions and gifts to involve the community, family and associates in order to raise awareness of ALS.
We will operate with dignity and passion for our purpose. We will not dismiss or act negatively to anyone who does not agree with our mission. Instead we will strive to understand their thoughts and respect their ideas. Our position is never a position of power, but a position of responsibility. In accordance with that responsibility, our positive actions will be foremost in our thoughts to further our cause. We will graciously thank everyone who donates time, ideas, money or efforts to further our cause. We will not turn anyone away who wants to help. We will appreciate donations of all sizes and efforts from our sponsors and members. We will operate in a way that all can appreciate our attitudes and efforts.
Each year we will hold events to raise awareness and funds. These events will always be open to the public, excluding no one. We exist to raise awareness without personal initiatives.
Our main goal is to raise awareness and funds for the treatment and cure of ALS. With relentless perseverance and determination, we will make a significant difference in the lives of thousands. We will not dissolve as a corporation until this goal has been reached.
