About the Josh Frederick Foundation:
Josh Frederick experienced a terrible crash at a WORCS round held in Lake Havasu City, Arizona on March 24, 2013 that left him paralyzed from the chest down.

A non-profit organization was established, the Josh Frederick Foundation, to assist with financial needs to cover non-reimbursable and out of pocket medical expenses. While he is proud of his racing championships, he credits his family as his greatest accomplishment. This Moapa, Nevada native born in 1978 married his high school sweetheart, Tiffany, in 2000.

They now have 3 children, Madalynn (9), Gavyn (6) and Jaxyn (3). Josh started riding at the age of 6, and began racing at 16. He became Pro in 1994 and raced as a privateer.

In 2008 he began racing with Can-Am/DWT/Motoworks. Josh has earned several championship titles including 2005 BITD, 2012 12-Hours of La Tuque, 2007, 2008 & 2010 WORCS, 2005 SCORE and last but certainly not least the 2012 SCORE which included the impressive Baja 1000 victory.

Please join us in raising funds for the Josh Frederick Foundation. You may make donations through the methods provided on our Donate Page. Thank you in advance for supporting a true champion! This organization was originally established in response to Josh’s spinal-cord injury while racing his ATV on March 24, 2013.
