CHARITY GRID
Ahead of Flag Drop, all rally entrants are given the opportunity to claim pole position on the grid by donating to the Foundation. Competing for this coveted pole position creates a great sense of competition amongst the teams, who whilst competing are also raising funds for the Gumball 3000 Foundation and its charitable partners. The top ten teams that have raised the most money for charity will line up at the front of the start grid with the team raising the highest amount taking the pole position.
CHARITY GALA
The Gumball 3000 Foundation’s annual charity auction and gala dinner is a core component of its rally fundrasing campaign - helping to raise funds for the Foundation and in turn its charity partners.
The live auction, in partnership with Christie’s, is held exclusively for Gumballers and features a special selection of lots including sporting, celebrity and pop culture memorabilia, and money can't buy experiences.
The live auction and gala dinner has been held in many worldwide cities and raised money for much needed initiatives through lots kindly donated by a variety of partners, celebrities, athletes and Gumball 3000 alumni.
