Two people won this one: Daniel B. from Texas and Tori C. from Georgia each took home a Toyota and $25,000 cash on June 7, 2026, in our first fundraiser run in collaboration with the Foundation Fighting Blindness.
What this fundraiser was
Two winners instead of one, and a partnership that mattered to us. The Foundation Fighting Blindness is one of the largest funders of inherited retinal disease research in the world. RAB hosted and ran the fundraiser as usual; at its close, RAB granted funds to FFB directed to BBS research. The $1 million grant announced on June 17, 2026 was funded by this fundraiser. The vehicles were on site with our team at the Arizona VisionWalk on March 22.
The announcement
Both winners were called live on the same stream. Tori chose the Tundra; Daniel took the Sequoia. Neither chose cash.
Winner Day
Both winners came to Arizona for their pickups. Daniel's and Tori's Winner Day videos are on YouTube.
