About The Moment With Mengsk Foundation
The Moment With Mengsk Foundation is a small, community‑driven nonprofit built to make life a little easier for kids and families at local dirt tracks. We focus on the simple things that matter… a bike for a kid who’s never had one, a backpack for a student who needs a boost, a warm coat on a cold night, or a moment of joy at the races that they’ll remember for years.
We’re rooted in the Ohio Valley racing scene. The same places we grew up. The same tracks that shaped us. The same people who show up every weekend because racing is more than a sport - it’s a community.
Our mission is straightforward:
Help the kids who need it. Lift the families who feel forgotten. Make the track a place where every kid feels like they belong.
We’ll do that through:
Youth Nights that give kids a chance to feel seen and celebrated
Giveaways like bikes, coats, and essentials
Community partnerships with tracks, teams, and local supporters
The Foundation works hand‑in‑hand with A Moment With Mengsk, the storytelling project that started all of this. The media side tells the stories. The Foundation turns that heart into action.
We’re small, but we’re steady. We’re local, but we’re loud about doing good. And we’re here to make sure no kid slips through the cracks at the place we all love... the dirt track.
Season One - The First Moments
Season One is our first major push to give kids in our local racing communities the essentials they deserve - bikes, helmets, and safety gear that many families simply can’t afford. These items become the spark that helps a child feel included, excited, and part of the racing world. Every donation helps us create those first unforgettable moments at the track.
