Racker Racers

Racker is excited to introduce Racker Racers, a new fundraising event to be held at the recently built Neighborhood Depot in Tioga County.
Inspired by the classic Pinewood Derby, this fully inclusive event will bring together Racker preschoolers, individuals with disabilities, Racker staff, and community members for a day of fun, creativity, and connection.

The event will feature four-lane track car racing supported by full audiovisual capabilities, including real-time timing, scheduling, and event updates to keep participants and spectators engaged. Racker will provide customizable cars to all participants, ensuring that everyone has the chance to join in. For those who may not be able to build their own, prefabricated cars will be available. To extend the excitement and accessibility, we will also host a Paint Day on Sunday, February 15th, 2026 at Racker’s Washington Gladden Preschool in Owego, giving participants the opportunity to design and personalize their cars in advance in a community setting.

Racker Racers is more than just a race – it’s a celebration of inclusion, belonging, and community spirit.
