The Race to Resilience: Fueling the Movement

Tonight, as we cheer on the races, we are fueling a much larger mission. In Madison County, the "Enemy" wins through isolation, exhaustion, and the silence that follows a crisis. Your gift tonight is the tactical counter-attack.

By participating in the Derby Gala races, you are providing the critical supply chain for our community’s front lines:

The Gary Nicholson Legacy Endowment: Building a permanent fortress of resources that will be here for generations. Your gift tonight is amplified by our current match—doubling your impact instantly.
Programs (The Hive, The Forge, Freedom Martial Arts, Creative Studios, etc): Providing "Swarm Intelligence" for a community that is facing so many challenges.
Scholarships - Combat Ministries averages +$24,000/ year to provide scholarships for families in need.
Pillars & Pathways Expansion Project - We are growing, help us take next steps toward expanding our campus and increasing our capacity for change!

Place your "bets" on hope. Fund the movement. Let’s make sure no one in our community has to fight alone.
