The mission of the All-American Soap Box Derby is to educate and inspire youth through fair and honest competition and mentorship.  With a primary goal to advance family values, the AASBD provides an environment in which parents or other adults work hands-on with racers to install basic skills of workmanship, the spirit of competition, and the perseverance to complete a project from start to finish.

The AASBD serves international youth, ages 7 - 17 and embraces diversity, facilitates lifelong friendships, teaches the application of math and science concepts and advocates the true spirit of teamwork and sportsmanship.
