Racing for the Future

The National Championship Air Races (NCAR) is the the only event of its kind in the world, and its colorful international notoriety as “The World’s Fastest Motorsport” is a vibrant part of aviation’s culture and history. Tens of thousands of patrons from all over the world flock to the event each year, and the resulting local economic impact regularly exceeds over $100 million. In addition to the regional financial benefit, we are very proud to provide over $100,000 of tickets and cash contributions to local charities and organizations to help their respective causes. It’s not overstating to say that the Races are one of the major economic drivers for the region. The organizations supported vary from aviation related charities such as the 99’s, Civil Air Patrol and the local EAA chapter to the Knights of Columbus and Boy Scouts of America, and veteran causes such as Disabled American Veterans and Bees4Vets. As a 501(c)3 not-for-profit, we operate this storied event through the dedicated efforts of our Board of Directors, a small staff, and over 1200 volunteers that handle the thousands of details required to carry of such a large operation safely and efficiently.

Our vision is to “Establish the Reno Air Racing Association as the pinnacle of inspiration, education and exhilaration for people of all ages”. Donors are the backbone of our organization. Charitable giving is critical to our programming, fortifying a strong foundation, ensuring the races stay around for many, many years to come. Contributions not only support the Races themselves, but now we have added Pilot Training Scholarships, STEM initiatives, or you can donate to our Areas of Greatest Need to give us flexibility in distributing the funds. As we transition to the new home of the National Championship Air Races in Roswell, New Mexico, these contributions have never been more important to our success.
