(PRWEB) June 26, 2018 -- It’s July again, which means that it is time for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix in scenic Schenley Park, July 6-18. The 36th anniversary of the Vintage Grand Prix celebrates the Marque of the Year, BMW. The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix brings world-class racing to the streets of Schenley Park with the goal of raising funds to provide residential care, treatment and support for developmentally disabled individuals in the Pittsburgh region. As the Vintage Grand Prix websites says, “It’s a race where everybody wins.” Because of the generous support and contributions from sponsors, and the dedication of volunteers, the event has raised more than $5 million to the Autism Society of Pittsburgh and Merakey Allegheny Valley School since the first races in 1983. That first year, $25,000 was raised. This is a one of a kind event being the only race if its kind held on city streets. The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix continues to grow and remains the largest vintage racing event in the United States.

As in years past, MyWay Mobile Storage will be providing several storage units for the event. MyWay SafeBoxes will be storing items needed during race weekend at Schenley Park. Once again, MyWay franchise owner, Ed Sickmund will also be hosting an end-of-event cookout for all the volunteers who generously donate their time to the Vintage Grand Prix. “The volunteers that have helped this event over the past 36 years are really what make it all possible. MyWay Mobile Storage is happy to be able to cook burgers for them at the end of a long race weekend,” he said, “It’s amazing to realize all the hard work and all the donations that have been raised in support of the Autism Society and the Allegheny Valley School. Really though, I’d expect nothing less from Pittsburghers. This is a very giving town.”

Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix events start July 6th and continue through a 10-day celebration spanning six venues and two counties. Schenley Park Race Day closes things Sunday, July 15th with races and car shows continuing all day long: Warm-up and Practice Laps—8:30 AM to 11:00 AM, Opening Ceremonies, Parade laps by BMW Marque—11:00 AM to 11:45 AM, Vintage Car Races—12:00 to 4:10 PM, International Car Show on the golf course 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM.

About the two charities: The Autism Society of Pittsburgh and Allegheny Valley School
Autism is a neurological disorder that impairs behavior and communication. More than 4,000 families in Southwestern Pennsylvania have children with this disability. Their families are often overwhelmed by the enormous task of discerning and providing for their complex needs. The Autism Society estimates that the cost of autism over the lifespan is $3.2 million per person. They operate solely on donations to address the needs of these children through a comprehensive array of information, advocacy and referral services, which are provided to their families and the caring professionals and service providers who work with them. This includes creating, developing and improving programs and approaches in diagnosis, treatment, education, training and social adjustment.

As of April 1, 2018, NHS Allegheny Valley School changed its name to Merakey Allegheny Valley School (AVS). This is a name change only…there is no change in ownership, management, staff, or range of services offered. New name – same mission! The Allegheny Valley School was established in 1960 to care for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. AVS offers a variety of residential and therapeutic programs to nearly 900 individuals through 125 programs and facilities in 9 Pennsylvania counties. Most of the residents are diagnosed with severe or profound intellectual disabilities; most also have multiple physical disabilities, medical complications and some have behavioral management needs. Proceeds from the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix are used to cover expenses at the school that are not reimbursable by Medicaid including equipment, new program development, renovations, improvements, and so much more.
