Mission
The Rally4aCause Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, was started to connect automotive enthusiasts with like-minded individuals, to create opportunities to give back to various charities, and to share the joy of automotive culture with younger generations. Our goal is that all kinds of automotive events will use the organization as a stepping stone to unite the automotive community with various charities such as the Epilepsy Foundation of America, Shriners Children’s Hospitals and Hear the Cheers, a branch of the Chicago Audiology Society.
