More than $40,000 raised through second Wilson Children's Fund auction

More than $42,000 has been raised through the second annual Wilson Children's Fund online auction of autographed IndyCar and IMSA memorabilia to benefit the children of late IndyCar driver Justin Wilson.

Three limited-edition Indy 500 prints generated $39,375 in donations through a silent auction held by

The Motorsport Collector

, and an additional $3,600 was taken in via eBay with a custom Rolex 24 at Daytona sign. Combined with $9,808 raised from prints in 2016, $52,783 has been given to the Wilson Children’s Fund through the offering of signed memorabilia since the initiative launched two years ago.

Further donations are always welcome through the Wilson Children's Fund site.
