About the Kurt Caselli Foundation
The Kurt Caselli Foundation was established in 2013. The focus of the foundation is the safety of riders and racers in the off-road motorcycling industry. While it understands the inherent elements of danger in the endeavor, the foundation aims to help minimize this danger to the best of its ability. The foundation has a three-part mission that encompasses safety precautions for riders before, during, and after a racing career.
1. Before racing, the foundation is committed to encouraging, developing, and standardizing safety precautions that will help minimize risk outside of the rider’s control.
2. During racing, the foundation is committed to developing, establishing, and encouraging the use of safety equipment and policies to increase the safety of the riders.
3. After racing, the foundation committed to providing a safety net that allows and encourages former racers to further their education and reach career goals for themselves and their families.
