Supporting People with Disabilities

About us

Since 1948, Racker has been many things to many different people. We are a community, a friend, a family, and a provider of services, supports and opportunities that help people live happy and fulfilling lives. Knowing that we work within a system that is limited to helping people once they’ve received a “label” of a disability, Racker chooses instead to focus on what it is that truly makes people, all people, happy- having friends, learning new things, and being independent. We don’t focus on labels. We focus on people. We continue the vision of our founding families, that all people will be valued members of a welcoming community. That vision is the foundation for everything we do, and we work to share it throughout our community. Vision We envision a world where all people know they belong. Mission We support people with disabilities and their families to lead fulfilling lives by providing opportunities to learn and be connected with others.

    Thank you to the entire Racker Community for making Racker Rivals Big Red 2024 an amazing success! The time and contributions made by everyone involved helped to ensure not only a successful game, but the lasting growth and strength of Racker’s Early Childhood programs. We’d like to extend a special heartfelt thank you to Cornell University Big Red Men's Hockey Coach Mike Schafer, RRBR Chair Topher Scott, our presenting sponsor of 10 years Tompkins Community Bank, our top tier sponsors and jersey sponsors, our celebrity players including Joe Nieuwendyk, Mike Richter, Anthony Angello, many local celebrities, photographers Ned Dykes of Cornell Hockey Association and Diane Duthie, and the countless friends and families who liked, shared, pledged a player, and attended our 10th Anniversary Racker Rivals Big Red! We’re pleased to say we beat our goal and the donations are still open for a few more days! Big Red may have won on the ice - but thanks to you, it’s the young children in Racker’s programs that win every day! Donations are still open – pledge a player and help us make our next goal! https://lnkd.in/echkqHYe

    We're less than a week away from Racker Rivals Big Red!

    For the past 10 years, Racker partners with Cornell Hockey to raise money for our Early Childhood Programming which includes evaluations and therapies for babies and toddlers with developmental delays and special education preschool services. These services are underfunded and this hockey game helps us bridge the gap. I am so proud to be on Team Racker! Please help us reach our goal: https://lnkd.in/dXTxBQbm
