ODVSOM 2026 Conference
Start Your Engines for a Winner-Takes-All Competition!
Get ready to drift, boost, and battle for a cause at this year’s ODVSOM Summit in the Rockies! We are thrilled to announce the Mario Kart for a Cause: Formula 1 Team Tournament. This isn't just a race for bragging rights—it’s a high-stakes fundraiser where the winning team secures the entire "pot" for their chosen charity.
How it Works: Participation is entirely team-based. Upon registration, your team will select a 501(c)(3) organization connected to the Domestic Violence (DV) or Sexual Offense (SO) field. From April until the July conference, teams are responsible for spearheading and tracking their own fundraising efforts. At the end of the campaign, your fundraising totals will determine your tournament seeding—the more you raise, the better your "Pole Position" and the more advantages you’ll earn on the track.
The Stakes: This is a single-elimination, winner-takes-all event held live during the networking event. The grand champion team will collect 100% of the proceeds—including all team registration fees and the total funds raised by every competing team—to be donated to their designated charity.
