We SHARE A PASSION
Now we need your time and money to preserve it!
OUR CAUSE
Together, we will build the first large scale national organization to preserve, educate, and promote car culture.
OUR MISSION
Your donations, sponsorships, and corporate gifts will provide grants and scholarships for apprentice programs, STEM initiatives and other worthy organizations.
CAMPAIGN
The Piston Foundation’s initial campaign will fund The Automotive Restoration Academy (ARA). The ARA prepares apprentices for careers in specialized automobile-related disciplines, matches them with the most suitable employers and heightens the public’s perception of these invaluable crafts. This campaign will directly fund and support car culture.
