Alonso among contributors to Wilson Children's Fund auctions

Continuing an effort that was initiated ahead of the 2016 IndyCar finale that featured an image of the start of the Watkins Glen IndyCar race, the Wilson Children's Fund (http://wilsonchildrensfund.com/) will once again be offering a custom run of items to generate funding for Jane and Jess Wilson.

That 2016 auction raised over $11,000 that went directly to the daughters of the seven-time Indy car race-winner, who was killed in a crash at Pocono Raceway in August, 2015. 

Organized by writer and photographer Marshall Pruett, the 2017 initiative will feature 12 prints of the start of the 2017 Indianapolis 500. Thanks to the work of the Sonoma Raceway communications staff, as well as support from McLaren CEO Zak Brown, the prints will be signed by all 33 drivers in that Indy 500 field. 

Motorsports artist Andy Blackmore has donated his design efforts for the print, and Paul Zimmerman of The Motorsports Collector will once again host the silent auction at http://motorsportcollector.com/.

Additionally, there’ll be another offering as Fernando Alonso, Michael Andretti, Gil de Ferran and Zak Brown will sign a limited run of two different prints that commemorate the two-time Formula 1 champion’s Indy 500 debut. These will be made available via an auction in December.
