$45,000 Winning Bid Fuels an Unforgettable Automotive Experience — Bring a Trailer/Drive Toward a Cure Partnership Raises Nearly $160k for Parkinson’s
Ten Tenths Motor Club experience, Corvette C8 Z51 driving and Hendrick Heritage tour deliver another big win for the Parkinson’s community.
The latest charitable auction through Bring a Trailer (BaT), in partnership with Drive Toward a Cure® and Ten Tenths Motor Club, has delivered another impressive result, bringing the total raised through the collaboration to nearly $160,000 across eight auctions.
Partners for prior Bring a Trailer auctions supporting Drive Toward a Cure included Good Year Tires, Penske Motorsports, and various iconic motorsport champions taking time for ‘meet and greets’ including Jimmie Johnson and Joey Logano.
The magic of Drive Toward a Cure’s partnership with Bring a Trailer brings together everything the enthusiast community loves — cars, racing, experiences and camaraderie — and turns that passion into something meaningful for people living with Parkinson’s. Winning bidders have met their heroes – including a day in the pits at the NASCAR Cup Series Coke Zero Sugar 400.
Bring a Trailer became a home for unique auction packages including ‘can’t buy’ experiences, memorabilia, private car collection tours and commemorative items – all joining together to support Parkinson’s through Drive Toward a Cure.
LOS ANGELES — November 5, 2026 — A $45,000 winning bid. An extraordinary automotive experience. And an even bigger win for those living with Parkinson’s disease.
The latest charitable auction through Bring a Trailer (BaT), in partnership with Drive Toward a Cure and Ten Tenths Motor Club, has delivered another impressive result, bringing the total raised through the collaboration to nearly $160,000 across eight auctions.
The winning bidder secured the complete Ten Tenths experience, including the opportunity to get behind the wheel of Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z51s and enjoy a special tour of the Hendrick Automotive Group Heritage Center. It’s a package that brings together high-performance driving, automotive history and the kind of access and camaraderie that makes the automotive community so special.
But while one lucky bidder takes home an unforgettable experience, the real winners are those living with Parkinson’s and the families navigating the challenges of the disease.
Proceeds from these auctions benefit Drive Toward a Cure and its Special Assistance Grant Fund, which provides support to individuals and families affected by Parkinson’s, particularly when unexpected circumstances create additional financial challenges.
Just as noteworthy as the auction results is the generosity behind the partnership itself. Bring a Trailer has waived its customary auction fees on these charitable offerings and, in an additional show of commitment, donates the buyer’s premium it collects back to Drive Toward a Cure. This added contribution helps maximize the charitable impact of each auction and reflects BaT’s genuine investment in the cause.
“Eight auctions and nearly $160,000 raised — that’s something worth celebrating,” said Deb Pollack, Founder of Drive Toward a Cure. “What makes this partnership so special is that it brings together people who love cars, unique experiences and the opportunity to make a difference. Bring a Trailer has been an extraordinary partner, and the generosity of Ten Tenths and everyone who contributes these incredible offerings makes it possible to turn automotive enthusiasm into tangible support for people and families living with Parkinson’s. The winning bid is exciting, but the impact is what matters most.”
From exclusive automotive experiences and motorsports access to extraordinary collectibles, each auction has offered something distinctive while giving enthusiasts another way to support the Parkinson’s community.
The collaboration demonstrates what can happen when automotive partners, enthusiasts and charitable organizations come together around a shared purpose. It’s more than an auction — it’s cars and camaraderie making a difference.
Eight auctions. Nearly $160,000 raised. Countless reasons to keep driving forward.
