The second of two charity vehicles had bidders and auction-goers alike on their feet Saturday afternoon at the 2022 Houston Auction. In light of the recent devastation caused by Hurricane Ian, George Shinn and his wife Megan generously donated a 2022 Ford Shelby GT500 Heritage Edition to aid relief efforts. The Shinns joined Craig Jackson, Steve Davis and Edward Graham from Samaritan’s Purse, which, along with the Florida Disaster Fund, benefited from the GT500. Shawn Shelby, grandson of Carroll Shelby, drove the limited-production GT500 onto the block for the sale, making the moment even more memorable.

The Brittney-Blue Shelby brought $400,000 on the auction block with additional donations from the audience and friends of Shinn bringing the total to $650,000. It was then re-donated by Mike Patterson to raise an additional $300,000 for a total of $1,000,938 with 100 percent of the funds going directly to the charities. The additional $250,000 in donations were made by George Shinn, the Mauzy family, Kathy Lee Gifford, the Ingram family and Rick Hendrick. A “collection” hat was spontaneously passed in the Muscle Lounge skybox and filled to the brim
