Last weekend, at the 24 Hours of Daytona, an additional driver name appeared on the #3 C7.R: Tripp Postmus. Postmus is a youngster and he is, unfortunately, battling cancer. As part of the “Make A Wish” program, which helps bring dreams to reality for children with serious illnesses, Postmus chose Corvette Racing. The team happily obliged.
Not only did Postmus’ name make it onto the race car, but they brought him and his family down to visit the Corvette Racing garage after the Daytona outing. Kudos to everyone at Corvette Racing.
We were honored to be chosen by Tripp Postmus and his family to host his @MakeAWish experience at @DISupdates for the #Rolex24! It definitely made our weekend! You’ll always have the support and prayers of everyone at Corvette Racing and @TeamChevy! pic.twitter.com/Ua5bkgezks

But, that wasn’t all. Corvette Racing crew chief, Dan Binks, issued a message last Monday saying the team will be putting multiple items up for auction on eBay to benefit Postmus. The items range from hats, fire suits, trophies and posters. Currently, three days remain on the auctions, which you can browse through here.
Additionally, Corvette Racing shared a link to Postmus’ GoFundMe page, which users can donate to at the link here.

So awesome to see Chevrolet get behind a cause like this… Great story! Thanks!
Why not help a regular person? This is why I don’t support charity! They only take care of people with disabilities which is wrong. There are normal kids and adults that would love to do things like this but can’t because they are normal!
Charities should help all people not just people with issues!
Yeah, tell a child with terminal cancer that he’s not normal and his dying wishes are unworthy because they don’t reward, oh, someone who’s owned nothing but Chevy’s his whole life.
Your Funny! The fact of the matter is that the only give these gifts to people they feel needs them. And a normal healthy kid always gets over looked. These charities focus on kids with disabilities because they get the most headlines and raise the most money.
Which in my opinion is wrong.
At least its better than your idea of having GM rewarding you for your years of Chevy ownership. Your lazy ass did nothing and you expect free money.
Good job, you’re a hypocrite, and I bet you ‘could care less’.
I would rather get money for being a loyal customer then get a gift because my kid had cancer.
Customer loyalty programs have been around for years, at least they are open to any and all GM buyers not just ones with disabilities.
I really like how the body color trim changes the look of the Corvette, its a shame you don’t see them with the option that often.
