Win Jeff Gordon’s 2013 Chevrolet Corvette and Help Pediatric Cancer Research & Treatment

Help Kids Battling Cancer

The Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation raffle program is back for its thirteenth year, giving you a chance to win one of Jeff Gordon’s personal cars.

This year you have a chance to win a car that is very special to me. This 60th Anniversary 427 Corvette Convertible has been a highlight of my personal collection. I am parting with it in hopes that together we can raise another one million dollars for childhood cancer research. Through this program, you have raised more that seven million for kids fighting cancer. Last year, you helped achieve an early sell out, raising a record million dollars. I need your help to do again this year – Jeff Gordon, four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion; 2019 NASCAR Hall of Fame Class Inductee; currently an announcer for Fox NASCAR, and a top executive for Hendrick Motorsports.

Survivor’s Story

While in Michigan for the June 2005 Batman Begins 400, Jeff met Jonathan, an inspiring 10-year-old who was battling childhood cancer. Jonathan was diagnosed with leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells, when he was 8 years old. He was on his second year of treatment when he met Jeff. On that day, the race theme was Batman — celebrating a fictional character commonly referred to as a superhero. Jonathan’s superhero, though, wore a fire suit instead of a cape and drove a Chevy painted with the number 24 instead of the Batmobile.

Sitting at a small picnic table behind Jeff’s RV, the two would share an experience that Jonathan describes as “one of the best moments of [his] childhood.” Though the humid June day was overcast, Jonathan’s smile brightened one very important photo of he and his hero.

Thirteen years after their initial meeting Jonathan and Jeff shared a smile again. In March 2018 at Auto Club Speedway in California, Jonathan showed Jeff a photo that he is still proud of today — the photo taken the day he met Jeff for the very first time. When Jeff learned that Jonathan is cancer free, he wrote “wishes do come true” across the special photo. Jonathan’s wish to tell Jeff he won his race against cancer came true.

Jeff’s wish is that all children battling cancer will win their race. The Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation seeks to fund promising research that will help kids win their race against cancer. When you purchase a Corvette raffle ticket you’re helping children win that race. And you too could be a hero who drives a Chevy.

NASCAR Race Mom purchased her ticket (as she does yearly). Wish NRM luck!
