Mission Statement
The BMW Car Club of America Foundation serves to create opportunities for the donors, corporate partners and members so they can fulfill the mission, “Saving Lives, Saving History.” The organization positively impacts the community with two programs:
- The Tire Rack Street Survival program provides teens with high-level training designed to save lives and make the roads safer through teaching, empowering and encouraging safe-driving techniques
- The Ultimate Driving Museum collects and preserves BMW’s rich history in its ever-growing archives; the club displays these curated artifacts in an annual exhibit that draws thousands of visitors

Volunteer Opportunities
The foundation is always happy to accept new volunteers. Opportunities include helping our curator build our annual exhibit, dusting cars, cataloging archive items, or serving as a parking attendant or docent at foundation events. Volunteers also participate in our teen driving schools. For more information about how to be involved, contact Michael@bmwccafoundation.org.
Giving Opportunities
The foundation fuels its mission, “Saving Lives, Saving History,” through donations of many types. Financial gifts, including stocks, are welcome, as well as legacy donations in the form of wills and trusts. The organization also accepts donations of various items and vehicles. For a small donation, you can honor someone in the commemorative garden. No donation is too small.
