The soap box derby will be held June 21, 2014 at Tennessee Tech University, Cookeville, Tennessee. This event is sponsored by the Cookeville Police Department, Cookeville Police Athletic League, City of Cookeville and Tennessee Tech University. “This is a unique opportunity for Volunteer to become more involved in enriching the lives of the children in our communities” said Nathan Miller, director of Volunteers’ Cumberland Mental Health locations in Lebanon and Mt Juliet, Tennessee.
The mission of the All-American Soap Box Derby Program 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 mentors, work hands-on with racers to instill 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 – 18, and embraces diversity, facilitates lifelong friendships, teaches the application of math and science concepts and advocates the true spirit of teamwork and sportsmanship.
Cookeville Police Chief Randy Evans proudly presents Capt. Pat Sealy as the Director and Sgt. Mitch Harrington as Co-Director of this year’s race. If you would like to be a part of next year’s race, please contact Sealy or Harrington at 931-520-5266.
The All-American Soap Box Derby Program (AASBD) is administered by the International Soap Box Derby, Inc. (ISBD), a not-for-profit educational organization.
