SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL IS COMING! 🏁
April 23, 2027 | Road Atlanta
A special fundraising event benefiting the
John Paul Jr. Huntington’s Disease Foundation, Inc.
We’re excited to announce plans for a very special John Paul Jr. / IMSA Reunion during The Mitty at Road Atlanta—bringing together racers, team members, friends and fans to celebrate John and an extraordinary era in racing.
And there could hardly be a more fitting place to do it: Road Atlanta was John’s favorite racetrack, and springtime there—with the track and surrounding hills at their most beautiful—will make an extraordinary backdrop for bringing John’s racing family together again.
More than anything, we hope this will be a chance for people who shared so many years at racetracks across the country to reconnect with friends, competitors and teammates who were an important part of their careers and lives.
And we plan to have some fun doing it!
The gathering will be based in The Mitty’s Fan Zone, with plans for live music, food and beverages, a big-screen tribute to John, a silent auction, a parade lap and more. We’re also exploring the possibility of offering charity hot laps with professional drivers—an opportunity for fans to experience John’s favorite track from the passenger seat while supporting a cause that meant so much to him.
The reunion will also mark the final fundraising event for The John Paul Jr. Huntington’s Disease Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
John was deeply committed to supporting Dr. Susan Perlman and Huntington’s disease research at UCLA, and he wanted that work to continue even when he could no longer be here to champion it himself.
The importance of that research reaches far beyond Huntington’s disease. Unlocking the mechanisms behind HD—and ultimately finding a cure—could provide important keys to advancing treatments and cures for other neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other diseases that cause dementia.
So we’re going to give this final one everything we’ve got.
One last fundraiser.
One very special reunion.
At John’s favorite racetrack.
One more chance to bring John’s racing family together.
More details—including participating racers, event activities, sponsorship opportunities and auction information—will be announced as plans come together.
We hope you’ll join us.
