Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of a gracious donor, his 2005 Ford GT crossed the auction block at the 2026 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in Phoenix — and the result was nothing short of remarkable. When the hammer fell, the car sold for an incredible $550,000. This gift carries deep meaning. Our donor has personally experienced the impact of Alzheimer’s through a beloved family member, and his willingness to turn that journey into hope for others is profoundly moving. We are truly touched by his generosity and his heart for families […]

It’s been said the best acts of charity are those that are offered anonymously because it’s an act from the heart instead of an attempt to gain accolades. That message rings true to 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Champion Ryan Blaney, who received a special car from a donor who wishes to remain anonymous so it can be auctioned to the highest bidder at a Barrett-Jackson Auction on Friday, January 23 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Crossing the Barrett-Jackson auction block in January 2026 at the Scottsdale Auction, 100% of its hammer price will benefit the Ryan Blaney Family Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing brain health awareness and supporting families affected by Alzheimer’s disease and concussions. When Ford unveiled the GT in 2002, it was designed to commemorate Ford Motor Company’s 100th anniversary and was inspired by […]
The Blaney family knows the impact of brain health challenges firsthand. Alzheimer’s disease left a lasting mark when they lost their patriarch, Lou Blaney—a legendary racecar driver and, above all, a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. Deeply loved and respected, Lou’s memory fuels the family’s mission. Since his passing, the Blaneys have become passionate advocates in the fight against this devastating disease, which affects more than 7 million people in the United States and over 55 million people worldwide.
