Since its inception in 2008, GPNY has made 1,200 donations to charity each year in addition to raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for local non-profits by hosting fundraisers for groups such as The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, A-HOME, and The Chappaqua School Foundation, among many others.
“We’ve hosted fundraisers for a number of international, national and regional charities, but it’s especially gratifying to help give back to local groups helping out in their communities,” said Nat Mundy, Vice President, Marketing for Grand Prix New York. “This event for the Fox Lane Sports Boosters Club is going to be a marathon, but we’re looking forward to making it memorable for everyone involved.”
