During the May presentations, Councilmember Jenifer N. Bailey took the opportunity to recognize the “We Can All Race” Foundation and the T-1 race team, based at the Homestead-Miami Speedway.
The “We Can All Race” Foundation has been recognized for the team’s on-going efforts to raise funds for diabetes (Type 1) research while having fun karting.
Karting is expensive, so the T-1 team always is looking for sponsors to help support the drivers. Kart racing is a great way for kids to learn the value of teamwork and build their confidence through learning about kart racing.
Foundation leader and karting enthusiast Walter Jenkins and his son, Walter Jenkins Jr., who has been racing since he was 6 years old, are very involved in the T-1 karting program. To honor their efforts, Councilmember Bailey presented the team with a 12-inch tall, race themed trophy that was crowned at the top with a racing helmet.
