24h Le Mans
Porsche Penske Motorsport will once again take part in the Racing for Charity fundraiser at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (11–15 June). The German manufacturer will be donating 500 Euros for every lap completed by the Porsche 963 Hypercar. The funds raised help two charities care for sick children.
For the third year running, the three Porsche Penske Motorsport Porsche 963s will display #RacingForCharity on their wings. The funds raised at the 2025 race will be shared between two charities: Interplast Germany e.V. and Kinderherzen retten e.V.
“We are proud to have been contributing to Racing for Charity for the last three years. When our sport can help people in need, especially sick children, we don’t hesitate for a second. Helping others has always been part of the Porsche philosophy,” says Thomas Laudenbach, vice-chair of Porsche Motorsport.
Since Racing for Charity began in 2023, Porsche has raised over 1.82 million Euros, including 911,000 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Their commitment earned the team the 2023 Sustainable Endurance Award by DHL.
Last year, the #6 Porsche 963 was classed fourth overall, having completed 311 laps of the course. This June, once again, each lap is important, for the team and for the people it supports.
Fribourg-based charity Kinderherzen retten e.V. provides heart operations in Germany for children from developing countries born with heart defects.
Meanwhile Interplast Germany e.V., founded 45 years ago, provides plastic surgery to people in under-resourced communities who don’t have access to it. Each humanitarian surgery trip cares for some 100 children.
To Porsche, this programme is part of a wider commitment to make a positive contribution to society. In 2024, the carmaker helped fund 110 projects around the world, in the realms of sport, culture, environment, society, science and education.
With Racing for Charity, Porsche shows that every lap of the circuit helps improve a child’s life.
