Pittsburgh Vintaage Grand Prix sets record donation $170,000
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, Presented by Shop ‘n Save, Takes a Victory Lap, Sets Record for the Third Consecutive Year
Pittsburgh, PA - 2007 was another exciting year for the Grand Prix and its two charities. Through sponsorship, merchandise sales, donations and driver entries the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, presented by Shop ‘n Save, set a new annual donation record of $170,000 - the largest single donation in its 25-year history. The funds will be split equally between the Autism Society of Pittsburgh and Allegheny Valley School. This now brings the Grand Prix’s total donations to $2,250,000 since 1983 and marks the third consecutive year that a new donation record was set.
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Association’s President and Race Director Mike Connolly was thrilled with the donation as well as the support of all the volunteers when he addressed the gathering, “Setting another donation record for our charities is very special. 25 years ago we never imagined this little one day race would grow into the country’s largest vintage race event spanning 10 whole days. As I look around the room I see so many friends who have worked by my side all these years…thank you from the bottom of my heart. But I am also very encouraged by the newer faces who can take us through the next 25 years.”
The October 24th check presentation is called the “Victory Lap”, because it was a unique opportunity for everyone involved in this successful event to relax and enjoy the recognition. Presenting Sponsor Shop ‘n Save Vice President Lou Krebs summed it up best when he said “Shop ‘n Save is proud to present such a successful and long-standing event. The Grand Prix contributes so much in the communities served by our independent retailers.” Shop ‘n Save has been the presenting sponsor of the nation’s largest vintage race event since 2001.
