The Brett Downey Safety Foundation’s Safety Equipment Scholarship Program is a new and exciting program being introduced just in time for the 2010 amateur motocross season. The Brett Downey Safety Foundation was established in 2005 by Jim Downey to honor the memory of his son, Brett Downey, a passionate amateur motocross rider who passed away in August, 2004.

The purpose of the safety equipment scholarship is to recognize and assist talented young people to achieve their fullest potential on the track while keeping safety first. Each monthly recipient will be awarded the safety gear in need ranging from helmets, chest protectors, knee guards, neck braces, and everything in between. Scholarships are not limited to a specific product but an overall need. The Foundation wants to make sure every child racing has the best chance lining up at the gate to reduce injury as the next child. The Brett Downey Safety Foundation believes the Safety Scholarship Program exemplifies the spirit of concern and interest by providing safety gear to riders in need.

In order to eligible for a safety scholarship, applicant must:

1. Be enrolled in school as a verified, full time student (public or private)
2. Demonstrate successful academic achievements
3. Demonstrate good sportsmanship
4. Provide a list of races the child plans on attending for 2010
5. Submit a letter explaining what the need is.

The scholarship recipient will be selected each month by the volunteer staff of the Foundation and is based on need and financial hardship.  The application deadline is the 1st of each month and scholarship recipients will be notified of his/her selection by the 10th of each month.
