Porsche: Racing helps

Porsche has always seen itself as part of society and accepts its responsibility accordingly. As in the previous year, the three Porsche 963 hybrid racing cars will therefore be on the road on June 15/16 in the spirit of sporting success and also for a good cause. At the 92nd edition of the endurance classic in France, Porsche will donate 750 euros for each lap driven. The total amount raised by Racing for Charity will then be distributed to three charitable initiatives for the benefit of seriously ill children.

Three organizations

As in 2023, the proceeds will go to the three organizations Kinderherzen retten e.V., Interplast Germany e.V. and the Ferry Porsche Foundation. Last year, at the 100th anniversary of the world's biggest endurance race and the 75th birthday of the Porsche brand, the three hybrid racing cars of the Porsche Penske Motorsport works team completed a total of 733 laps. This resulted in a donation of 549,750 euros, which the sports car manufacturer topped up to 911,000 euros shortly afterwards.

Grateful recipients

"Many thanks to Porsche for making us part of Racing for Charity with our work at Interplast Germany. Thanks to the generous donation, we were able to treat numerous children in Africa, Asia and South America last year," summarizes Professor Jürgen Dolderer, board member of Interplast Germany e.V. Founded in 1980, the association helps young patients in developing countries with congenital or acquired defects through plastic surgery operations. Sebastian Rudolph, Chairman of the Board of the Ferry Porsche Foundation, explains: "We are delighted to be involved again this year. We used last year's donation to support seriously ill children and their families. Our aim was to awaken a zest for life in difficult times and offer time-outs, rays of hope and companionship for those affected."
