Porsche's 911 S/T Auction Achieves Remarkable Milestone
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA) partnered with RM Sotheby’s to host a spectacular auction featuring the rare 911 S/T. The event successfully raised one million dollars, with all proceeds being directed to the American Red Cross. This charity supports those affected by various disasters across the nation, including devastating wildfires and floods.
Significant Contributions of the Auction
The winning bidder, who prefers to stay anonymous, has previously shown support for charitable causes by purchasing the renowned 911 Sally Special. Timo Resch, the President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America, expressed gratitude towards the bidder. He noted, "Their bid will lead to a meaningful impact on the vital work done by the American Red Cross."
The Role of the American Red Cross
The American Red Cross is on the front lines, responding to over 65,000 disasters each year, from small home fires to large-scale extreme weather events. In the wake of recent calamities, the Red Cross has been pivotal in supporting individuals and families affected by disasters, providing vital services such as shelter and meals.
Porsche's Commitment to Community Support
The proceeds from this auction will significantly assist the American Red Cross in their ongoing efforts. Anne McKeough, Chief Development Officer at the American Red Cross, stated, "Thanks to the Porsche Cars North America and RM Sotheby’s auction, the Red Cross can continue to support families impacted by both large and small disasters throughout the nation. We value this partnership as it enables us to provide crucial help during critical times."
