Kevyn Major Howard
Fueled By The Fallen, is a non profit organization that provides monetary support for returning veterans, and a moving memorial to honor the fallen soldiers from our current conflicts. Each branch of the military is represented by a racecar that proudly lists the name and rank of our fallen American heroes. These moving memorials are on a 5 year American Road Tour, traveling across the United States, raising awareness and financial support for the families of the fallen and the injured.
Fueled By The Fallen (FBTF) a 501(c)(3) has raised $103,257.00 since May 2007.
Fueled By The Fallen would like to thank America, it's citizens and to all that have supported FBTF's ability to give back to our American Heroes.
Fueled by the Fallen is a non-profit organization developed to both honor and pay tribute to the United States Service Members who lost their lives fighting for the freedom of others. A moving monument, The Memorial Race Car Team has been created to epitomize their sacrifices. Funds will be raised in conjunction with the team and will be given to the families who have lost sons, daughters, husbands, and wives in the War on Terrorism. It is our mission to give back to the families of our fallen heroes and create awareness of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of freedom.
In addition, Fueled by the Fallen will focus on supporting organizations that address Post Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD) as well as family treament for proper re-integration of our Service Members back into society.
Through the inspiration of acclaimed actor Kevyn Major Howard, "Rafterman" in the Warner Bros. picture Full Metal Jacket, these moving monuments have developed a strong foundation. Mr. Howard converted his classic Chevy Nova drag race cars into incredible mobile memorials for the fallen Marines in Iraq. The names of all the fallen Marines are proudly displayed on the flagship car. Two other cars, in uniform fashion, bear the Marine Corps name and slogan, "The Few, The Proud." Together they make up the Marine Corps' Fueled by the Fallen Memorial Race Car Team. Our organization's mission is to build out memorial cars for all branches of our Armed Forces, bring these cars to the public, and develop other prospects that will generate money to give to the families of the fallen.
The Memorial Race Car Team will be working on two fronts:
1. We will be racing our top race cars to compete, bring awareness and win in NHRA drag racing venues across the nation.
2. In addition we will be traveling across the nation to bring the Memorial Race Cars to every major city in the United States and beyond. Also, we have preliminary approval to take the race cars to Iraq for the Christmas Holiday to show our Troops that America still supports them!
The Race Car Team was developed to generate awareness ad revenue and support the Fueled By the Fallen cause.
Money will be raised to give back to the families who have lost sons, daughters, husbands and wives in the Iraq war. It is our mission to honor those soldiers, give back to their families and create awareness of those who sacrificed themselves to defend our freedom as Americans.
Multiple revenue streams are developed including sales of a documentary that is presently being produced, sales from memorabilia and other avenues to continue to support our Troops for as long as necessary.
What We Do
We support our Troops by making appearances throughout America with the Memorial Race Car Road Tour. We display and perform to honor our fallen servicemen and women, and raise monies to help support the families of the fallen. If you have an event where you would like the Memorial Race Cars to make an appearance please visit our contact page and let us know!
"Broken But Not Defeated"
Although many service members will return from their deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq tarnished both mentally and physically, it is Fueled by the Fallen's mission to ensure their rehabilitation and provid them with the best opportunity to succeed in life.
Fueled By The Fallen is a non-profit organization which relies on the skills, talents and resources of individuals to support its mission. No contribution of time, energy or money is insignificant! Fueled By The Fallen greatly appreciates the efforts and commitment of its founders, past Board members and volunteers, and thousands of donors who have all helped to advance the mission of the organization.
In order to properly promote and expose America to these moving monuments, Fueled by the Fallen intends to execute a Memorial Race Car Road Tour. Through your corporate sponsorship, the merchandising of products generated by the tour, live shows, and a feature documentary we will be able to achieve the goals of supporting the families of the fallen and injured from Operation Iraqi Freedom and all future world conflicts.

CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP
Although research shows that the majority of non-profit organizations funds are raised through individual donations, the project will require a significant amount of help from corporate sponsors.

A 100% tax break will be received by the donating corporation upon acquiring the tax exempt status for Fueled By The Fallen. The corporate sponsor should find this as a rare opportunity to give back to the community while mutually benefiting themselves in a way that advertising dollars cannot buy.
