Latest Activity: Feb 11, 2013
The mission of Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation is to support children battling cancer by funding programs that improve patients’ quality of life, treatment programs that increase survivorship and pediatric medical research dedicated to finding a cure.
In addition, the Foundation provides support to Jeff Gordon’s Children’s Hospital in Concord, NC, which serves children in the community by providing a high level of primary and specialty care, regardless of their ability to pay.
It is our vision that there will be a day when no child will face the uncertainty of cancer and that successful treatments will not result in negative, long-term effects.
In addition, we envision that Jeff Gordon Children’s Hospital will serve as a model to other communities who want to provide the highest quality of care to all their children, regardless of their ability to pay.

1958 Porsche 356 Speedster
The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models.

1948 Rover P3 Saloon
The 1948 Rover P3 Saloon marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of British motoring.
