Along with having lots of cool cars on display, Concorso Italiano is also a major contributor to several local, national and international charities. This year’s project car, a 1974 Fiat 124 Spider, was refurbished as a fundraiser for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) to help cure Juvenile Diabetes. It is sponsored by the team at Concorso Italiano, President Tom McDowell, Marketing Manager Katrina Couch, and Marketing Director Scott Ingebretson.
The Fiat Spider was purchased from a family in Covington, Washington, who has a child recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, a disease which has also touched many people close to the team at Concorso Italiano. The Concorso team has family and friends who have T1D, and are eager to support the research for a cure. Sponsor partners have also been touched directly and indirectly with T1D so they are stepping up as well.
