ABOUT

Our history is rooted in providing at-track experiences to children and families living with neurofibromatosis (NF). Since 2008, our founder Jill Beck has provided extraordinary motorsports-based experiences that have made profound difference in the lives of thousands of families living with life-changing illnesses throughout North America.

Launched in 2016, The Race Day Foundation not only continues to provide at-track experiences but has expanded our uniquely empowering Race Day events to a broader audience, embracing the K-12 educational setting. Our STEM presentations offer the opportunity for students to learn about race car engineering, design and career paths in the classroom setting followed by a unique opportunity to interact with an actual race car on-campus.

Our Mission

The Race Day Foundation is a 501(c)(3) for-good foundation with an unwavering commitment to offer powerful experiential activities that spark inspiration and kindle hope. Whether a young girl interested in pursuing a path in the male-dominated field of motorsport or a child battling a life-changing medical condition, Race Day experiences are uniquely empowering. Race Day events are made possible through the generosity of our philanthropic investors, corporate and government grants, and are always offered free of charge.

WHO WE ARE

As a child growing up in Southern California, Race Day founder Jill Beck was first exposed to motorsports at the age of nine when sports car racing legend Elliot Forbes-Robinson brought his #4 Budweiser Spyder NF-11 Can-Am race car to her elementary school. Motorsports would be a consistent theme in her life, whether attending NHRA races with her father, participating in club racing events as a member of the Porsche Club of America, or as team owner of Compass Racing, a professional sports car racing team competing in NASCAR’s IMSA series and SRO GT America.

The Race Day Foundation Board of Directors is made up of a group of passionate and determined individuals from diverse backgrounds -- motorsports, automotive, medical, corporate, philanthropic, broadcast, design, marketing, and finance -- who choose to make a difference in the lives of young people.
