A Letter From Our Founder

“Together, we can build more than homes. We can build hope.”

As a Marine Corps combat veteran, an amputee, and a proud Homes For Our Troops home recipient, I’ve experienced firsthand how accessibility, stability, and independence can transform a veteran’s recovery. The home I received did far more than provide a place to live — it restored freedom, renewed confidence, and created opportunities that once seemed out of reach.

Karts for Courage was created to bring our community together for an unforgettable day of racing while giving back to the organization that has changed so many lives. Every sponsorship, every team, and every supporter helps Homes For Our Troops continue its mission: Building Homes. Rebuilding Lives.
