Shinny cars, beautiful paint jobs, spins and crashes. The roar of a big V8, squealing tires, the beautiful whine of a turbo charger at full song.

A day at the race track is a full sensory experience, one most of us take for granted. Imagine going to the race track if you couldn't see or hear. There are millions of people who face each day with different degrees of impairment. Some are both deaf and blind.

You and I, working together, have the chance to make people’s lives a little easier and hopefully find a cure. My goal is for everyone to join me at the race track to enjoy the full sensory experience of the sport I love. Together we can make that happen.

Racing for Sight and Sound is a fundraising partnership between Casmir Autosport and the Foundation for Sight and Sound.

Motorsports is one of the most popular sports in the world today. We leverage that popularity with the fine work of the Foundation to create a fund raising program which will grant 100% of the money raised, to the researchers and organizations most in need.

We're able to grant all the pledge money because our sponsors fully fund the race team's budget, allowing all of the money raised in the Racing for Sight and Sound pledge program to be granted.

Intrigued??? We thought you would be. So read on and think about how joining our team could help your business and potentially help cure visual and auditory illnesses.

Racing for Sight and Sound is a pledge based fundraising program which utilizes the fast paced, thrill packed, world of motorsports to pique and keep the interest of both the pledge seekers (Crew Members) and the pledge makers (Team Members).

Crew members solicit pledges for each lap the Racing for Sight and Sound team completes during the season. The team will also earn "bonus laps" based on the team's finishing position. If the RSS team car crashes or has a mechanical failure and doesn't complete a race, we earn less for the Foundation.

After every event we will post updated results, pictures, videos, and a journal keeping all team members in the loop with up to the minute information on the team's progress.

Crew members will earn incentives like t-shirts, posters, and team caps for reaching higher fundraising goals. The crew member who raises the most money earns an all expense paid trip to a race where they will be a member of the pit crew.

The mission of the Foundation for Sight & Sound is to enhance the quality of life for individuals affected by visual and/or auditory challenges of varying degrees and origins.

The FSS provides grants to qualifying organizations that offer direct services or engage in research for these conditions.

All donations are channeled to specific projects otherwise lacking financial support, and not to the general fund of any other organization.

The Foundation for Sight & Sound is committed to creating a world in which people with vision and hearing challenges can realize their full potential to live lives of unlimited possibilities.
