Redline4Kids is a 501 (c) 3 organization that brings volunteers together to create a unique one-of-a-kind experience that is sure to brighten the day of many kids experiencing prolonged stays at the hospital.
#R4K’s founder, Chance Wynn, is an exotic car owner who knows what it’s like to spend his days in and out of the hospital. At 4 years old Chance began his fight against Systemic Juvenile Arthritis; a battle he’s still fighting to this day. His own fight is what led him to start this movement and become the founder of Redline4Kids.
Growing up, Chance missed out on typical kid stuff. Kids with diseases don’t get to spend their days running bases and scoring winning touch downs. Kids that are sick, or suffering from ongoing ailments, spend a lot of time in and out of the hospital avoiding anything that can worsen their condition. Fortunately for Chance, his dad was a “car guy,” and that meant Chance was exposed to a new obsession that his illness couldn’t keep him from.
“Now that my dream of owning my own exotic car has come true, I want to bring the same kind of joy to other kids fighting similar battles. I am hoping that other organizations will partner with Redline4Kids and join us in our quest to bring joy to kids, and hope to families, through an experience with exotic cars.” – Chance Wynn, Founder of Redline4Kids
