Racers 4 Autism — Racing With Purpose. Changing Lives With Heart.

Racers 4 Autism is more than a name, more than a race, and more than a single event. We are Racers with a Cause—a nonprofit organization dedicated to autism awareness, autism acceptance, and creating real opportunities for autistic and neurodiverse individuals and their families.

Founded by race car driver and Autism Super Dad Jordan Modiano, Racers 4 Autism uses the power of motorsports to raise funds, inspire inclusion, and connect families with critical autism resources. Our mission has expanded far beyond the racetrack—because autism support must happen all year long.

Our Mission

To raise autism awareness, expand access to resources, create meaningful opportunities for neurodiverse individuals, and fund programs that directly improve the lives of autistic people and their families.

What We Stand For

Racing Is the Vehicle—Impact Is the Destination

While our Autism Acceptance Race remains a signature event, racing is only one way we drive autism advocacy and community impact. We host and support a growing lineup of autism fundraisers, including golf outings, family carnivals, community events, and business partnerships. If it raises autism awareness or improves quality of life, it belongs in our mission.

Employment Matters — Opportunity Matters

Employment for autistic and neurodiverse adults can be challenging. In 2025, Racers 4 Autism proudly hired our first employee with special needs—an important milestone in our commitment to inclusive employment. Our goal is to continue expanding these opportunities and encouraging other organizations to do the same.

Funding Local Autism Support

Since 2022, Racers 4 Autism has raised thousands of dollars for local autism organizations, including:

• The Autism Society of the Greater Hudson Region, NY — providing essential resources, programs, and community support across 21 counties.  

• Bring on the Spectrum — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit offering social, recreational, and lifestyle programming for neurodiverse individuals of all ages.

Every donation stays local. Every dollar supports real autism programs. Every event fuels greater awareness and acceptance.

Our Vision

A world where autistic and neurodiverse individuals are empowered, included, supported, and celebrated for their strengths. A world where awareness becomes acceptance—and acceptance becomes opportunity.
