PASADENA, Maryland (September 15, 2023) – While the TPC Racing Lamborghini Super Trofeo IMSA racing program competes at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend, another meaningful part of the team’s program takes place at Summit Point Raceway, and virtually from anywhere, through Saturday.
The Erin Levitas Foundation, named for TPC Racing founder Michael Levitas’ daughter, aims to prevent sexual assaults and help survivors heal through youth and young adult education and awareness programs. This weekend is the grand finale of the annual Erin Levitas Foundation/Porsche Club of America Potomac charity auction, which benefits the foundation and is held in conjunction with the PCA weekend at the track.
Visiting the online auction stie at ErinLevitas.org/PCA, race fans and competitors alike can bid on items ranging from track days to artwork, concert tickets to football tickets and even jewelry and a wide variety of racing collectibles, souvenirs and high-performance parts. The auction closes at 7 p.m. EDT tomorrow, Saturday, September 16, so don’t delay.
The Erin Levitas Foundation was established to prevent sexual assault by educating youth about boundaries, consent, and empathy using restorative approaches. The Foundation’s mission is to reduce the incidence of sexual assault and help those who have experienced it heal. The active programs include a children’s book, Every Body Talk, and an in-school program at Baltimore City Middle Schools that showcases healthy relationships, identifies boundaries, and prevents peer-to-peer sexual harm among youth by addressing attitudes and behaviors that facilitate sexual assault, among other goals.
“The motorsports community has always been welcoming and highly supportive of the Erin Levitas Foundation and our cause, and we can’t thank PCA Potomac for stepping to the plate again to include us as their charity,” said Harris Levitas, TPC Racing Director of Race Operations and Erin’s brother. “We have even more items this year up for bid, and appreciate any support including a donation, to continue our mission.”
The auction items feature unique opportunities and products for motorsports fans and beyond. Included on the motorsports and automotive list is a DSC Suspension Control unit and private consultation with Michael Levitas, a 2024 PCA Potomac High Performance Driver Clinic or High Performance Driver Education event, a virtual coaching session with Randy Pobst, autograph race swag and memorabilia, Yokohama Tires and more. Off track offerings include jewelry, artwork, Baltimore Ravens tickets, Club level tickets for Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks, and a week at a beach house in Cape May, New Jersey, near New Jersey Motorsports Park.
The auction marks the sixth year of partnership between the Erin Levitas Foundation, PCA Potomac, TPC Racing and DSC Sport.
