Going into the 2023 Scottsdale, Arizona, auction, Barrett-Jackson had already raised over $149 million for charity at numerous auctions with the generous support of carmakers and above all buyers and donors. This figure is sure to increase in 2023 with several high-profile charity lots offered with no reserve and one hundred percent of the hammer price from the sale of these vehicles going directly to the charitable organizations, with all auction fees waived.

One of the highly-anticipated charity cars is a daily-driven 2015 Corvette Stingray (Lot #3003) that belonged to late General Colin L. Powell, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and U.S. Secretary of State. 100% of the hammer price will benefit America’s Promise Alliance, which General Powell founded and chaired for decades to help America’s youth. America’s Promise Alliance is a large cross-sector alliance of nonprofit, community organizations, businesses, and government organizations dedicated to improving the lives of young people.
