    Watch as the 2023 Porsche Car Raffle Winner is Called

    The car raffle winner is drawn at the Blue Hope Bash in Washington, D.C.

    It was a quiet night at home for Diana until Avi Benaim called her from the stage of last year’s Blue Hope Bash. Cheered on by hundreds of guests, Avi, an Alliance Board of Directors member, told Diana that she had just won a custom Porsche.

    The colorectal cancer caregiver couldn’t believe she had won the Alliance's annual car raffle! 

    Watch as Avi delivers the big news: 

    Avi Benaim calls the Porsche raffle winner.

    When he asked if she knew where he was calling from, Diana guessed, "From the Blue Hope Bash?" 

    Avi confirmed and then shared the exciting news: Diana had won a Kia. But he was only joking! 

    Diana had actually won a custom Porsche Macan in awareness-raising blue. 

    In their short discussion, captured by the podium microphone, Diana explains that her husband Mark was in treatment for colorectal cancer, and they participated in last year’s annual car raffle to support the Alliance’s work to end this disease. 

    “You tell Mark we need him to keep battling, and he’s going to enjoy a nice ride with you in this beautiful Porsche,” Avi told Diana. 

    Now, the Blue Hope Bash car raffle is back with just 1,500 tickets to win a custom blue 2025 Porsche Macan T. The winner will be drawn on November 2 during the Alliance Blue Hope Bash gala, but raffle participants do not need to be present to win.
