The Santa Cowboy at the Giving Grand Prix Austin


The Giving Grand Prix is an annual charity event held each December at the Circuit of The Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas. Organized by The Exotics Network (TEN), this gala combines the thrill of exotic cars with the spirit of giving, creating a memorable experience for attendees and supporting local charitable organizations.​

Event Highlights:

  • Exotic Car Parade: Over 110 luxury and exotic cars take to COTA’s renowned track, offering spectators a dazzling display of automotive excellence. ​

  • Charity Auction: The event features an exclusive auction with items such as yacht getaways to the Monaco Grand Prix and stays in private villas in Croatia, with proceeds benefiting organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and Dell Children’s Medical Center. ​
