 The corporate fundraising for the 2022 edition of The Seaside Le Mans – The Race for the Cape Cod Community kicked off on Tuesday with a major announcement as Atlantic Subaru of Bourne presented a check for $21,650 from the Share the Love Campaign to Seaside Le Mans as their Hometown Charity.

Through the Subaru Share the Love Event, Subaru of America Inc. and its participating retailers donate money from vehicle sales each year to national and local charities chosen by their customers. Seaside Le Mans – The Race for the Cape Cod Community was honored this year to be the local charity of choice for Atlantic Subaru of Bourne.

“The legacy and tradition of the Seaside Le Mans from its inception has been the overwhelming amount of support given to the event through sponsors, volunteers, and the community at large,” said DeWitt Davenport, CEO of the Davenport Companies, and founder of the race.

The Davenport Companies in South Yarmouth created and underwrites the Seaside Le Mans – The Race for the Cape Cod Community, which features teams of sponsors driving Formula One karts during an endurance race on an outdoor track to determine the winner.

“Over the past 20 years, the money raised for various nonprofit groups has made a direct and positive impact on the lives of Cape Codders. That tradition will continue in 2022 with our five beneficiaries using the money for transformative programs. From educational opportunities for youth, to healthcare and veterans needs, those who donate to the cause can be assured their philanthropy will be well spent,” said Davenport.

The Davenport Companies covers all event related costs. All race donations and sponsorships are sent to The Cape Cod Foundation, which distributes the funds to the designated beneficiaries.

The event is free to spectators and features food, music, and entertainment for the whole family.

Corporate and individual driving sponsorships range from $2,000 – $10,000 and provide the opportunity to participate in the endurance race, the sponsor pre-race gathering, team gifts and marketing and promotional benefits.

All equipment is included, no racing experience is required, and sponsorships are tax-deductible. Drivers must be 18 years of age or older and have a valid driver’s license. Companies or individuals interested in driving sponsorships are encouraged to contact Kelsey Ellis, Event Director at 508-760-9265 as soon as possible since the field will be limited to 20 teams.
