Four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jeff Gordon is donating a very special car to benefit kids fighting cancer through Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation (JGCF).
This unique 2021 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE Coupe features custom matte gold accents and brake calipers as a nod to his nonprofit’s vital mission – gold is the official color for childhood cancer awareness.
Tickets to win the car are available February 3 – March 3, 2021 for $100 each at www.CamaroForACure.org and only 15,000 will be sold.
All tickets purchased between February 3 and 10, 2021 will be entered into two drawings – one for a $10,000 cash prize and another drawing for Gordon’s one-of-a-kind 2021 Camaro ZL1 1LE Coupe.
Federal taxes will be paid on all prizes, and Gordon will personally hand over the keys to the car and sign over the title to the winner.
JGCF’s last car program sold out in a record nine days.
While this is only the second Camaro Gordon has parted with for fundraising, he has donated a Corvette to Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation for each of the past 15 years.
Through this Corvette For A Cure program alone, nearly $11 million has been raised for life-saving research at top-tier hospitals and medical institutions in communities across the country.
Gordon wanted to do something special to set this Camaro apart from any other car he has ever donated.
With the support of Axalta Coating Systems and Hendrick Performance, a matte gold coating – hand-picked by Gordon and expertly mixed by the paint professionals at Axalta – was flawlessly applied to the front valance, side skirts and rear valance.
The brake calipers also were painted gold and the Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation logo was affixed to each one.
An engine plate also bears the JGCF logo and emphasizes the car’s “1 of 1” exclusivity.
More than 20 years ago a group of parents picked gold as the official color for the childhood cancer awareness ribbon.
They believed the color gold symbolizes how precious children are and the resiliency of childhood cancer heroes.
Throughout history gold also is associated with optimism, generosity, success, achievement, and triumph.

Gordon started the Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation in 1999 – a 501(c)(3) public charity – to help improve outcomes for children diagnosed with cancer.
Since then, more than $22 million has been used to fund some of the most promising research in childhood cancer, as well as open the Jeff Gordon Children’s Hospital in Concord, N.C., and the Butaro Cancer Center of Excellence in Rwanda.
Cancer is the number one cause of death by disease for children, and families of 43 children every day receive the devastating news of a cancer diagnosis.
Only about four percent of the National Cancer Institute’s budget is dedicated to pediatric cancer, with pharmaceutical companies contributing minimal resources, leaving childhood cancer heavily reliant upon private donations.
