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

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

The prestigious Dancing with the Cars Gala is the must-attend opening night of the Pittsburgh International Auto Show, serving a vital fundraising mission for the region.

The Greater Pittsburgh Automobile Dealers' Association (GPADA) proudly hosts this annual black-tie charity event. Since 1924, GPADA has supported local franchised dealers, educational initiatives, and community service. As the organization that produces and directs the Pittsburgh International Auto Show, GPADA ensures all proceeds from the 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. Your attendance directly helps to fund their ongoing success.
