About The Grand Prix Foundation

Built by the track. Supporting the trades.

Since we waved the green flag on our organization in 1991, the Grand Prix Foundation has raised nearly $5 million for Long Beach-area charities. In addition to our popular Grand Prix 5K, we’ve held signature events including casino nights, golf tournaments, and charity balls.

We have a long track record of supporting local education, as well. In 1997, we established the Robert E. Leslie Memorial Scholarship, providing a $1500 grant to seven deserving Long Beach high school graduates each Spring.

Accelerating the Future

Beginning in 2022, our mission has shifted into a new gear: supporting the next generation of  trades professionals right here in Long Beach.
