The International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) has announced a $10 million charitable donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to creating meaningful impact beyond the racetrack. Made under the leadership of IHRA owner Darryl Cuttell, the donation reflects IHRA’s belief in supporting communities through action that truly changes lives.
Earlier this week, IHRA visited the St. Jude campus in Memphis, Tennessee and saw the hospital’s groundbreaking research, patient care programs, and the compassionate environment that supports children and families from around the world.
In addition to the donation, IHRA announced its intent to collaborate with St. Jude on future fundraising initiatives aimed at expanding awareness and generating additional support. These efforts will further St. Jude’s mission of ensuring that no child is denied treatment based on race, religion, or a family’s ability to pay.
The donation also carries personal significance, as Cuttell previously lived in Memphis near St. Jude and heard firsthand stories from medical providers about the compassion, innovation, and hope that define the institution.
IHRA events bring people together and create memorable experiences for families. Partnering with St. Jude allows that impact to extend beyond the racetrack, supporting families with meaningful treatment, care, and hope when it matters most.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is internationally recognized for advancing cures for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Through its commitment to freely sharing discoveries with the global medical community, St. Jude continues to improve care and outcomes for children worldwide.
