MAKING A PLEDGE DONATION:
Since we often run into situations where we need a quick purchase, especially pertaining to build items, we are offering the option of pledge donations. For us this would mean that you, as a donor, pledge a certain amount of money that we can request for use when we need it throughout the year. For example, if you make a pledge donation in the amount of $600, we may contact you later in the year to make a purchase(s) for us using either parts of the total you pledged, or all of it at once. Out of the $20,000 we aim to raise, we would like $5,000 to be in pledge donations.
Email spiritracingsystems.finance@gmail.com with the amount you would like to pledge. Be sure to add any constraints, if applicable.
And then pretty much just wait for the students to hit you up with the request for purchase! :)

1) Write a check payable to “CMARC (for SRS)”
Yes, we know it weird that the check is sent to CMARC because it no longer exists.
But we triple checked and that’s what the school wanted.
We’re just following orders.
2) Mail to:
Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion CMARC/CMAP,
Attn: Spirit Racing Systems
5000 Forbes Ave. CUC Lower Level 75
Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3890
thank you!
We can't overstate how much we appreciate your willingness to help SPIRIT Racing Systems. We know your money is hard-earned, and we are honored to be recipients of your generosity. Thank you for helping us reach new heights... er... new speeds.
Your donation will go toward:
New wheels (to make the buggies go faster).
Racing industry data logging equipment (to more accurately track our performance).
Materials for fabricating a pre-pregnated buggy. (Our last buggy is a few years old, and building a new one can be costly).
Metal stock for custom machine components. (Buggy parts can't always be bought in your friendly neighborhood Home Depot).
Everyday tools like wrenches, nuts, and bolts. (These small purchases really add up).
Generally enabling the team to further champion awareness of students of color on CMU campus.
Maintaining this website and all of the history within it.
