ABOUT THE
INFINITE HERO FOUNDATION

The mission of Infinite Hero Foundation is to combat the most difficult front line issues – mental and physical – facing military heroes and their families.

Infinite Hero Foundation exists to connect our military, veterans and military family members with innovative and effective treatment programs for service related injuries.

Since 2014, every time Fast Jack Beckman straped into his Infinite Hero Foundation Dodge Funny Car, he carried challenge coins down the track with him. The coins were a commemorative fundraising opportunity for Infinite Hero and were available for a $100 donation to the IHF.  After each pass, Beckman personalized the coins with the name of the track and run information along with a personalized note for the donor. We are proud to share that more than $685,000 was raised for the Infinite Hero Foundation through the Challenge Coin Program thanks to the generous contributions of our supporters.
