Ayrton Houk Fundraising Gala a Huge Success

TeamWWF Helps Driver Ambassador Prepare for 2026 Racing Season

By Kris Mills, Social Media Coordinator

TeamWWF hosted the Ayrton Houk Fundraising Gala Saturday evening at Nutrition 101 in Pendleton. It was a fantastic evening, with several of Ayrton’s family, friends, and supporters in attendance.

The casino-themed gala was highlighted by a silent auction and raffle, plus some great food from Binkley’s Kitchen and Bar.

Ayrton’s racing car for 2026 was a crowd favorite, as were the gaming tables featuring “funny” money.

Ayrton reached his fundraising goal for the event, which would not have been possible without the dedicated support of his supporters. We want to thank those who donated or took the time to attend.

Watch our video with Ayrton as he recaps the evening.
