That work comes from the Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation (JGCF). Since its founding 24 years ago, the organization has raised more than $25 million to fight childhood cancer, which is the number one cause of death by disease in kids. Only 4% of the National Cancer Institute’s budget is dedicated to pediatric cancer. Donations to the foundation help fund innovations that improve quality of life, treatment programs that increase survivorship and medical research dedicated to finding a cure for kids fighting cancer in communities near and far.
The JGCF annual fundraiser, Corvette for a Cure, has raised more than $15 million in the past 17 years. This program sees the NASCAR Hall of Famer giving away his 2023 Chevrolet Corvette 70th Anniversary Edition Stingray convertible.
The fundraiser runs through Dec. 28, 2023, at noon ET. You can enter to win here. To learn more about the Corvette for a Cure fundraiser as well as the complete rules, click here.
