Racing for Autism for The Victory Center

As a parent of a student at The Victory Center, I am proud to virtually ride in the Race for Autism Awareness for The Victory Center. While the Kentucky Derby is the longest-running sporting event in the United States, this Derby demonstrates the spirit of The Victory Center community. Help me Run for the Cup to support The Victory Center. See Jacob here who is virtually riding Homing Thistle a horse you can count on for the win!

Jacob's teacher says that his personality can turn any frown upside down!

The Derby will help The Victory Center raise money during the month of April for Autism Awareness Month to help support students who have autism and need an individualized education program that may not be available in other programs. We need and appreciate your help to continue offering these high-touch, high-value programs for the children and their families.

Every $1 you donate moves Homing Thistle one stride closer to the Winners Circle!

Please help Homing Thistle win The Victory Center Derby's 2022 Race of the Yearlings with your donation, no matter how large or small, today. Our team is looking forward to claiming The Victory Center Derby Cup with your support!

What Does the Winner Receive?

The winning team will claim the official The Victory Center mint julep trophy, be photographed virtually with their team and horse and be announced in an email and on The Victory Center’s website and social media.

Why is The Victory Center Raising Money?

While the cost of our tuition reflects the personalized program for each student, unfortunately it cannot cover all that it takes to educate our precious children.

Over half of The Victory Center families receive financial assistance. It is amazing how our generous donors cover 33% of the tuition costs for these families. We see how much it warms the donors’ hearts to nurture these well-deserving students and their families.
