Get the right people and the rest will follow


While we believe the formation of RACIN! has been fantastic, it’s really the people that volunteer their time and talents that truly make it a special organization.

From the initial word that someone we cared for was rejected from participating in a local race, a supportive and forward-thinking community came together to do amazing things. From all walks of life, volunteers have joined as one to make RACIN! a reality.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of these like-minded and motivated individuals, those with developmental disabilities are joining races all over Western New York.

What was a simple idea, stemming from an unfortunate circumstance, led to a gathering of amazing leaders, setting the course for RACIN!.

Now enjoying an affiliation with DDAWNY, we have a lot of people talking about our role in the developmental disability community.

All of this goes to show that when powerful, passionate people feel strongly about a cause and want to do what’s right, something special happens.

We’re excited to see how RACIN! grows from here.
