A RACE WHERE EVERYBODY WINS!

More than 1,000 volunteers give their time and skills to organize and stage all 10-days of
races and events. These dedicated volunteers work year-round to keep our event as the
model for vintage race and car shows throughout the country.

Since 1983 the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix has donated nearly $6 million to its charity
partners to benefit individuals in western Pennsylvania with autism and intellectual and
developmental disabilities.
