La Organización Operation Homefront será beneficiada con $3.6 millones, por lo recaudado en la subasta del primer Chevrolet Corvette Z06 comercial edición 70 aniversario 2023 hecha en Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale, realizada el sábado 29 de enero. Una cifra récord para un vehículo donado para caridad por un fabricante en Barrett-Jackson, superando el récord anterior del primer Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2020, de $600,000.
El Corvette Z06 2023, con el motor V8 de aspiración natural más poderoso del mundo, arribó a la subasta bajo la conducción del legendario piloto del equipo Corvette Racing, Oliver Gavin. Representantes de Operation Homefront, una organización nacional sin fines de lucro enfocada en construir familias de militares fuertes, estables y seguras, presenciaron este emocionante momento en primera fila. El 100 por ciento de la apuesta ganadora, hecha por el fundador y CEO de Hendrick Companies, Rick Hendrick, beneficiará a Operation Homefront.
“Estamos profundamente agradecidos con nuestros amigos de Chevrolet y Barrett-Jackson por elegir Operation Homefront como beneficiaria de esta increíble subasta”, mencionó Brig. Gen. (ret.) John I. Pray Jr., presidente y CEO de Operation Homefront. “Lo recaudado por la subasta de este sensacional Corvette Z06 nos permitirá ayudar a familias de militares a superar dificultades financieras y darles la oportunidad de prosperar en las comunidades –nuestras comunidades– que tanto han protegido”.
Desde 2017, Chevrolet se enorgullece en apoyar a Operation Homefront. Chevrolet ha donado siete Silverados de tamaño completo para las seis oficinas regionales de la organización y su sede central, así como fondos para servicios. La subasta de este fin de semana en Barrett-Jackson aumenta significativamente los fondos que Chevrolet destina a Operation Homefront.
“Apoyar a los militares y sus familias a través de Operation Homefront es realmente un privilegio”, dijo Steve Hill, vicepresidente de Chevrolet. “Lo recaudado en la subasta del Corvette Z06 comercial 2023 beneficiará a numerosas familias a nivel nacional quienes han hecho todo por servir a nuestra nación”.∆

FIRST 2023 CORVETTE Z06 RAISES $3.6 MILLION FOR OPERATION HOMEFRONT
Operation Homefront will receive $3.6 million from today’s sale of the first retail 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 70th Anniversary Edition at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction. This is a record sale for a charity vehicle donated by a manufacturer at Barrett-Jackson, surpassing the previous record, held by the first retail 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, by $600,000.
The 2023 Corvette Z06, offering the highest horsepower naturally-aspirated V-8 to hit the market in any production car, was driven onto the block at the annual auction by retired Corvette Racing legend Oliver Gavin. Representatives from Operation Homefront, a national nonprofit focused on building strong, stable and secure military families, were at the auction to experience this exciting moment firsthand. 100 percent of the winning bid from Rick Hendrick, chairman and CEO of Hendrick Automotive Group and owner of 14-time NASCAR Cup Series champions Hendrick Motorsports, benefits Operation Homefront.
“We are deeply grateful to our friends at Chevrolet and Barrett-Jackson for choosing Operation Homefront as the beneficiary of this incredible auction,” said Brig. Gen. (ret.) John I. Pray Jr., president and CEO of Operation Homefront. “The proceeds from the sale of this sensational Corvette Z06 will go a long way to helping us help our military families overcome their financial hardships and have the opportunity to thrive in the communities – our communities – they’ve worked so hard to protect.”
Since 2017, Chevrolet has been a proud supporter of Operation Homefront. Chevrolet has provided seven Silverado full-size trucks to the organization’s headquarters and six regional offices, and donated funding for services. Today’s Barrett-Jackson auction significantly increases the funding support Chevrolet has been able to provide to Operation Homefront.
“It’s truly a privilege to support our military members and their families through Operation Homefront,” said Steve Hill, Chevrolet vice president. “Proceeds from the first retail 2023 Corvette Z06 will benefit many U.S. military families across the country who have done so much to serve our country.”∆
