Toronto, Ontario — August 26, 2019 — Fix Auto owners, Sylvain and Eric Laporte worked together to bring families staying at Montreal’s Ronald McDonald House to the 50th Annual Grand Prix de Trois-Rivieres NASCAR earlier this month.
From August 9th to the 11th, the brothers invited the families as VIP guests–meaning no expense was spared getting the children autographs from the drivers, rides in the cars, and even the chance to hand out trophies to the winning racers.
Sylvain Laporte said the children earned a well-deserved distraction.
“We were delighted to host these families at the Grand Prix NASCAR Weekend and give them the opportunity to meet the drivers and experience the thrill of professional racing first hand,” he said. “These kids and their families are going through a very stressful time that is unimaginable for most people, giving them a day to just enjoy each other and the event is the least we can do.”
With the help of sponsors and Fix Auto franchisees, including Fix Auto Saint-Jean, Labelle, Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Vaudreuil, Saint-Eustache, Saint-Apollinaire and Montréal-Ouest, the team raised more than $1,000 over the weekend for the Ronald McDonald houses in Montreal and Quebec.
