End Alzheimer's Racing is proud to support the Alzheimer's Association The Longest Day program. 100% of funds we raise goes to The Longest Day campaign, an Alzheimer’s Association fundraising initiative that encourages participants to combat the darkness of Alzheimer’s disease through the activity of their choice. While the campaign centers on the summer solstice – the day with the most sunlight – efforts continue year-round to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s research. In our case, we use racing as our activity to raise funds and awareness about this devastating disease. Using the button below, you can donate directly towards The Longest Day on our team fundraising page.
Race to End Alz
Thank you to all who participated in the Race to End Alz in Jacksonville! We had a great day of racing, and perfect weather conditions. Congratulations to all of the class winners. We greatly appreciate all of the 23 teams that entered and helped support the cause. You helped us raise $4000 from the entry fees, as well as almost $400 from the auction. This will go a long way in the battle against Alzheimer's disease!
And, special thank you goes to Chris McCoy and the entire Endurance Karting team for their support this weekend.
Why is Alzheimer's important to us?
The number of Americans living with Alzheimer's is growing — and growing fast. Nearly 7 million Americans have Alzheimer's.
As the size of the U.S. population age 65 and older continues to grow, so too will the number and proportion of Americans with Alzheimer's or other dementias. By 2050, the number of people age 65 and older with Alzheimer's may grow to a projected 12.7 million, barring the development of medical breakthroughs to prevent or cure Alzheimer's disease.

So, when you buy a shirt through https://www.bonfire.com/end-alzheimers-racing-2/ you are directly supporting our Alzheimer's Association campaign. We have t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, and sweatshirts/hoodies currently available!

End Alzheimer’s Racing objective is to use racing as a means to create awareness and raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Association. We are passionate about combining our love of racing with our dedication to charity and philanthropy in support of those impacted by Alzheimer's disease.
Six years ago, a father/husband/father-in-law/grandfather passed away after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s disease. His family channeled their grief into action, fully committing to the battle against this terrible disease that so greatly affects not only the patient but the entire family as well. The disease is a 24/7 struggle, and this family will continue to fight by doing what they do best – motorsports.
End Alzheimer’s Racing began in 2019, as father and son duo Bill and Alex Slupski – both experienced auto and kart racers who also work in sports car racing part time – began raising funds through karting and other motorsports events throughout the year.
The team will concentrate its efforts this year in the Gridlife Rush SR National Series in the Rush Autoworks Rush SR car. The Rush SR series competes at major tracks around the country, such as Road America, Mid Ohio and Laguna Seca. The 2025 schedule will be released soon. In addition, End Alzheimer's Racing will continue to race in many endurance karting races throughout the course of the year.
In addition to the team’s own racing efforts, the End Alzheimer’s Racing logo will also be featured on the Stoner Car Care Aston Martin Vantage GT4 sports cars run by Automatic Racing in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge Series. If you are at an IMSA race this year, please come by and say hi. Free team stickers are always available, as well as other swag.
End Alzheimer's Racing welcomes and greatly appreciates any companies wishing to partner with the team for 2025 season, or for specific races. Our team has been very active working with local media outlets (see the Team Video page on our website) to help spread the message about Alzheimer's, so this is a good opportunity to get your company's name out there in support of a great cause. In addition, the Rush SR National Series races are live streamed by Gridlife, which will also increase company exposure.
