Porsche Drives for a Good Cause at the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans

For the third consecutive year, Porsche is renewing its charitable initiative “Racing for Charity” during the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

For every lap completed by one of its three official Porsche 963 cars during this edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the German brand will donate 500 euros to two organizations that help sick children: Kinderherzen retten e.V. and Interplast Germany e.V.

Already 1.82 million euros have been raised during the previous two editions. This year again, the three Hypercars will proudly carry the hashtag #RacingForCharity on their wings. In 2023, the winning car completed 342 laps. Each lap represents an additional hope for children in need.

For Porsche, solidarity is part of its DNA. The manufacturer supports numerous initiatives in the fields of health, education, environment, and sports. In 2024, over 110 projects have thus been supported worldwide. The ACO, organizer of the 24 Hours, even awarded Porsche for its commitment.

The Kinderherzen retten e.V. organization transports children with heart defects from developing countries to Freiburg Hospital for vital surgeries. Thanks to Porsche’s donations, 28 children have already undergone surgery. Among them is Sayed, a seven-year-old Afghan boy whose heart was saved.

On its part, Interplast Germany e.V. has been carrying out plastic surgery missions in crisis regions for 45 years. These interventions allow children suffering from burns, deformities, or tumor sequelae to regain a normal life. Like Rhonda, a little girl from Tanzania who was able to return to school after tumor removal.

Thomas Laudenbach, vice president of Porsche Motorsport, summarizes the spirit of the project: “If racing can help children live better, then it gives even more meaning to our commitment.”
