Helping others may not give you anything but happiness. But if you help out in this endeavor, your happiness might be accompanied by a beautiful red Ford GT supercar. Sounds like unbelievable but Petersen Automotive Museum isn't a make-believe institution, and it's serious about this Ford GT giveaway. Your donation could go a long way.

Reaching Underserved Communities

Located in Los Angeles, California, the Petersen Automotive Museum was established to celebrate the entirety of automotive history, culture and artistry. Thus, the museum isn't just a collection of cars but a place that tells how cars came to be and their importance to the society and culture. It is even considered as one of the top car museums in the world.

Temporarily closed, Petersen Automotive Museum serves as a progressive center for automotive research and collecting, and it also reaches out to underserved communities through its education programs. It does so by developing not just new exhibitions but also by holding community events and preservation activities. This endeavor needs public support, and so you can do so by taking part in this raffle event.

Up for grabs is a rare 2005 Ford GT, which was inspired by the Ford GT40 that took the world by storm by conquering various endurance events – including four wins at Le Mans – in the 1960s. The Ford GT is rare creation, with only 4,000 units built. It's powerful too, delivering 550 hp from its mid-mounted V8 engine.

For a chance to take this 2005 Ford GT home, just make a donation in any of the four amounts: A donation of $10 dollars represents 100 entries, while donating $25 dollars gives you 250 chances to win the raffle. The event also offers double entries; donations of $50 and $100 amount to 1,000 and 2,000 entries. One can also enter the raffle without donating anything, but that won't help the museum's cause.

Plus $20,000 Cash
