Racing for Corey - About Us

ABOUT RACING FOR COREY

Founded in 1999, Racing for Corey is a program designed to bring together the sport of auto racing and kids diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses, in hopes of inspiring them to stay strong and to hold onto their dreams. Through Racing for Corey, race-themed events are organized to entertain the wish kids and families of various non-profit, wish-granting organizations across the country. Events include exclusive "meet and greet" sessions with celebrity race car drivers and a hands-on experience with Racing for Corey’s quarter midget race car.

The program was founded in the memory of Corey Hanchar, a nine-year-old member of the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund. Visit Corey’s Corner, a feature written by Debbie Hanchar, Corey's mom.

In 2001, Racing for Corey visited and entertained over 1,000 families and children in three states. Racing for Corey hosts multiple fundraising events throughout the year with the proceeds going directly to designated organizations that Racing for Corey supports.

Racing for Corey is a 501 (c) 3, not-for-profit organization. For more information, please contact us at: info@racingforcorey.com
