Members of Porsche Club Great Britain (PCGB) came together at the 2017 Porsche Charity Day to help raise over £12,500 ($22,456) for Chestnut Tree House, the Sussex-based children's hospice. Held at Goodwood, the charity event was also supported by PARR Porsche and Vroomphoto, and coincided with the club's popular track day. 36 cars took part, while 150 gathered for a lunchtime parade around the historic circuit.
The combined efforts of the Porsche community, and the extra involvement of PCGB, helped to increase the total from 2016's benchmark of £8000 ($14,375).
"In 2012, when the three of us were sitting at Goodwood Circuit's Aero Club Cafe and came up with an idea for raising funds for Chestnut Tree Children's Hospice as a one-off event, we never dreamt it would evolve into the day it has." said Porsche enthusiasts Jonathan Trees, Tony Clinch and Andrew Wilson. "Each successive year it has grown and has now raised over £37,000 ($66481) for the Children's Hospice. This would never have happened without the continued and growing support from everyone involved, so a big thank you. We would also like to thank Parr Motorsport, PCGB and Vroomphoto who have so kindly donated their time and have helped make the event what is today."
