$550,000 of Hope: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Gift Fuels Our 2026 Missions
What an unforgettable moment for the Ryan Blaney Family Foundation!
Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of a gracious donor, his 2005 Ford GT crossed the auction block at the 2026 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in Phoenix — and the result was nothing short of remarkable. When the hammer fell, the car sold for an incredible $550,000.
This gift carries deep meaning. Our donor has personally experienced the impact of Alzheimer’s through a beloved family member, and his willingness to turn that journey into hope for others is profoundly moving. We are truly touched by his generosity and his heart for families walking the road of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
Because of this once-in-a-lifetime gift, we will be able to expand respite care grants, offer caregiver retreat scholarships, support adult day centers, and invest in programs that directly serve individuals living with dementia and the people who care for them. Thousands of families will feel the impact of this moment.
We are ready to hit the ground running in 2026 — and it’s because of supporters like this donor, and all of you, that we can continue to bring relief, dignity, and hope to those who need it most.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in this mission.
