If we are going to have Soap Box Derby racing in Parkersburg, we are in desperate need of a minimum of $10,000 to cover our startup costs and a total of just over $23,000 before we can sponsor our first race. If you really want to see Soap Box Derby racing in the Mid-Ohio Valley, please make the largest donation you can afford.

A recently formed nonprofit is trying to revive the Soap Box Derby in Parkersburg four decades after the last race.
