Unlimited Off-Road Racing and Best In The Desert announced that Jeremy Renner’s RennerVation Foundation has been named the Official Charity of the 30th Anniversary Casey Folks Vegas to Reno – “The Other Way” presented by Camburg/MagnaFlow, taking place Aug. 12-16, 2026.
Founded by Academy Award-nominated actor, producer, entrepreneur and philanthropist Jeremy Renner, the RennerVation Foundation is dedicated to creating meaningful experiences and providing long-term support for foster and at-risk youth, foundation officials said in a press release. Throughout race week, the foundation will participate in select events, engage with race fans, and share more about its mission and community programs.
“Racing brings together people who push limits and look out for each other, and that’s exactly the spirit RennerVation Foundation was built on,” said Renner. “I’m really excited to be introducing RennerVation to this community and get to share the work we do. This is a group that shows up, and that’s exactly what these kids need.”
In addition to serving as the Official Charity of the event, the RennerVation Foundation is launching its “Miles That Matter” campaign, inviting the off-road racing community to help sponsor every mile of the 30th Anniversary Casey Folks Vegas to Reno. With more than 300 teams expected to race approximately 500 miles each, the goal is to sponsor over 150,000 collective race miles across Nevada, noted the release.
Supporters can participate by donating $20 to sponsor one mile, with every contribution helping fund RennerVation Foundation’s programs for foster and at-risk youth, including Camp RennerVation and Pave Your Way. Those supporting a specific race team can include the team’s name in the dedication field when making their donation.
Unlimited Off-Road Racing is partnering with Visit Reno Tahoe to host the historic 30th Anniversary celebration before the race heads south across Nevada for the first-ever running of Vegas to Reno “The Other Way.” Jeremy Renner will also serve as Grand Marshal of the 30th Anniversary event and is scheduled to compete in the race behind the wheel of a Ford Raptor, helping bring even greater awareness to the RennerVation Foundation and its mission, foundation officials said.
“We’re honored to welcome the RennerVation Foundation as the Official Charity of this historic event,” said Unlimited Off-Road Racing CEO Matt Martelli. “Off-road racing has always been about community, perseverance and giving back. Partnering with Jeremy, Kym, and the entire RennerVation Foundation team allows us to use the platform of Vegas to Reno to make a meaningful impact beyond the racecourse. We encourage every racer, team, sponsor and fan to support the Miles That Matter campaign and help us turn every mile raced into an opportunity for Nevada’s foster youth.”
Founded in 2023 by Jeremy and Kym Renner, the RennerVation Foundation focuses on creating opportunities for foster youth and young adults aging out of the foster care system through innovative programs designed to foster confidence, belonging and long-term success.
Attendees at race week will have the opportunity to meet Renner and members of the RennerVation Foundation team during the Reno Off-Road Festival on Thursday, Aug. 13, along with additional appearances throughout the weekend.
