Porsche raises €600,000 for charity at 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans
During the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans, Porsche donated €600,000 to two non-profits helping critically ill children globally under its Racing For Charity scheme. The initiative received the Sustainability Endurance Award twice from Le Mans organizers, the ACO, in recent years. Porsche donated €500 for each lap completed by its factory Hypercars, totaling €579,500 over 1159 laps, rounded up to €600,000. The funds will be split between Interplast Germany e.V. and Kinderherzen retten e.V., providing surgeries to children with severe injuries and heart conditions respectively. Porsche secured a second-place finish overall at the 2025 Le Mans with the No.6 car of Estre, Vanthoor, and Campbell, despite starting from the back of the grid due to a penalty. Estre expressed that the narrow gap to the winning Ferrari wasn’t indicative of the rival’s superior pace following the race.
