Not just a charitable contribution, but a milestone in giving.
On December 2, the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix presented a $350,000 check to its charity partners, Autism Pittsburgh and Merakey Allegheny Valley School, bringing the total contributions to over $7 million.
Roni Erath, Merakey Allegheny Valley School Senior Executive Director, expressed her gratitude towards PVGP, noting that its “incredible generosity has made a lasting impact on the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and autism.”
Jesse Torisky, CEO of Autism Pittsburgh, added to that sentiment, expressing that “these funds help an immense number of members in our community, providing those on the autism spectrum and with disabilities the highest quality of life, resources, support, empowerment, and advocacy.”
In addition to presenting the check, PVGP Chairman James Dolan highlighted the success of the 2024 event while looking toward the future:
This was another great year for the PVGP. We hosted the 60th GT40 Reunion, Historic Stock Cars at the Historics at Pitt Race, Vintage Indy and the colorful Ragtime Racers in Schenley Park. This year marked a new evening event at the beautiful Phipps Conservatory adjoining the Schenley Park race course.
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix was nominated at the International Historic Motoring Awards in London as the Motorsport Event of the Year. This is the most prestigious global award in the motorsport and collector car world, celebrating the achievements of people and organizations worldwide.
We are honored to be recognized in the company of so many distinguished international motorsport events. The real honor belongs to our volunteers, whose tireless efforts make this a unique motorsports event. We look forward to winning this coveted award one day as we continue to enhance and expand the PVGP.
