Supporting the fight against cancer

After the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the helmet will be sold at auction. The full amount raised will be donated to the hospital which will apply the funds to the most scientifically advanced treatment of approximately 4,000 patients a year. 

Supporting the fight against cancer

Pipo Derani commented on the collaboration with GRAACC:

"I have always followed the work of GRAACC closely, and I have also visited the hospital. Everything they have done over the last 30 years is sublime, helping so many children and adolescents in their fight against cancer. As many people know, my father passed away in 2018 with the disease and this is when I saw a possible future way to honour his memory. I met Jisbar a short time ago and became a big admirer of his art. Over the last few years, he has also done several initiatives in Europe, raising funds with his arts for socio-environmental campaigns and helping victims of Covid-19, among many others works. When I presented him the idea of ​​holding the auction in Le Mans for the benefit of the GRAACC Hospital, he accepted right away. I hope that we can raise a large amount to help the GRAACC Hospital to continue this important and vital work, helping so much those who are in this battle against cancer."

Pipo Derani commented on the collaboration with GRAACC:

Jisbar is honoured to have Derani as a patron

Jisbar: "As a motorsport fan, I was really honoured when I learned that Pipo was one of my collectors and so I discovered his incredible career. When he told me about this project, I immediately agreed, especially because this initiative has such a noble cause. Collaborating with a champion and above all such a generous person is a very special opportunity in my career."
