Blacktie & Tailpipes Gala

Friday, July 16, 2021

Our Blacktie & Tailpipes Gala opens Grand Prix Race Week in formal style! This is a must for any auto enthusiast who enjoys shiny cars, fine dining and great company. In addition to being one of the city’s best summer parties, it is also a significant fundraiser for our charity partners.

We are excited to move the party to Valley Brook Country Club in Canonsburg. Bobby Rahal is hosting the event and will be there in person to auction a special Indy 500 trip for our charities. The Grand Prix Blacktie & Tailpipes will be our first big event of the year and we are celebrating with fireworks sponsored by Insperity. Andrew Stockey will be our evening’s emcee.

Auction Now Open!
The virtual auction is live so you can start bidding on items now. The auction closes at the event on Friday, July 16. Here are the featured items  – you can register with OneCause and start bidding!

The Grand Prix is taking the Blacktie Gala to the beautiful Valley Brook Country Club in the south hills. Stay tuned for details and menu.
