Chevrolet has just announced the first 2015 Corvette Z06 Coupe went for $1 million at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Palm Beach, Florida. The winning bid came from Hendrick Automotive Group Chairman and Hendrick Motorsports owner Rick Hendrick.
All proceeds will go to the renovation of the Karmanos Cancer Institute’s infusion center, providing a more comfortable and soothing setting for patients to receive chemotherapy treatments.
"We thank Rick Hendrick for his ongoing, generous support that will help Karmanos Cancer Institute provide better care and treatment for cancer patients," said General Motors President Dan Ammann. "We are humbled by all those who are supporting the Annual Dinner and who are giving generously to help us exceed last year's fundraising total of $2.5 million."
Chevrolet's donation of the 2015 Z06 demonstrates the company's outstanding commitment to the Karmanos Cancer Institute. Last year, Chevrolet raised $1 million through the auction of the first 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible that was also purchased by Hendrick.
