The Women in the Winner's Circle Foundation, established by Lyn St. James, was founded in December of 1993 as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit educational organization that focuses on worldwide activities and programs for the advancement of women in the automotive and motorsports industries, especially for women who aspire to become professional race car drivers. The Mission of the Foundation is to provide leadership, vision, resources, and financial support in order to create an open environment for women's growth in automotive fields. To date we have trained over 250 drivers, primarily women, from 38 states and four countries through our driver development program and have contributed to Girls, Inc., the Wilbur Shaw Soap Box Derby Hill in Indianapolis, and other charitable organizations; we have also donated numerous autographed items for various charities around the world.
