DANCING WITH THE CARS: The Exclusive Pittsburgh International Auto Show Charity Gala

Drive Change: Supporting the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix (PVGP) Charities

The Dancing with the Cars Gala is more than just an exclusive evening; it's the official opening event for the Pittsburgh International Auto Show with a vital charitable purpose.

This prestigious annual charity event is proudly hosted by the Greater Pittsburgh Automobile Dealers' Association (GPADA). Founded in 1924, GPADA is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting commerce and supporting education for over 200 local franchised automobile and truck dealers. As the organization that produces and directs the Pittsburgh International Auto Show, GPADA ensures that all proceeds from this gala benefit the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix (PVGP) Charities.

The PVGP has proudly donated over $7 million since 1983 to partners like Autism-Pittsburgh and Merakey Allegheny Valley School. By attending, you fuel their success.
