Team Valor proudly supports the Race for Education, which provides funding through college scholarships to deserving offspring of backstretch workers.

The Race for Education was founded by Bill Casner of WinStar Farm. Team Valor had started a similiar scholarship a couple of years ago, named the "Valordictorian Award." When Casner invited Team Valor president Barry Irwin to join his board of directors, he accepted. Team Valor donates 2 percent of the earnings (1 percent from partners and 1 percent on its own) of all its racehorses.

It was Irwin who arranged for the Race for Education to get the premier of "Seabiscuit", and reap the benefits of the night's charitible contributions. Through one of Team Valor's biggest partners and investors, Gary Barber, who is co-producer of the movie through his Spyglass Entertainment, they were able to get the film and the historic Palace Theater.
