HISTORY
Patriot 500 Racing began it’s work in 2009. In 2012 we became an established and approved 501(c)3 organization. P500R uses its background with the National Hot Road Association to inspire and engage youth and promote a passion for life and education. P500R is a STEM based educational program and our goal is to stimulate the minds of students and faculty with whom we work. In addition to STEM programs, support is provided to our military, their families, and research organizations designed to comfort families in need.
MISSION
Patriot 500 Racing is a non-profit organization. It reaches out to children in grades K-12, their families and communities to teach the fundamentals of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Using visual connections between racing technology and performance we combine that with hands-on demonstrations of mathematics and physics within real-world applications. P500R designs it’s volunteer programs into a mobile lab and delivers experiences once only viewed on television, right into the student’s classrooms.
P500R also lends a helping hand raising donations for wounded military members, their families, and support programs.
VALUES
Life skills such as integrity, leadership and dedication to personal growth are tools that must be developed in childhood and then enhanced through adulthood. We believe that with the proper education and support everybody can make a difference in our future and that the best in each of us enriches all of us.
Patriotism is the foundation of where we come from and the strength of our future. It is our belief that supporting our Country, our families and those teachers in life who have made it their mission to better us, we can allrise to the challenge!
