A Memphis Tradition with a Nationwide Impact
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the St. Jude Corvette Drive, a beloved Memphis tradition that has made waves across the country in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Since its launch in 2011, the annual road rally has gathered Corvette enthusiasts and philanthropists alike, all fueled by a mission to raise vital funds for the families at St. Jude. St. Jude is a Memphis icon, caring for children from around the world right here on our city’s streets.
How the Corvette Drive Helps Families
The St. Jude Corvette Drive is more than a car event—it’s a movement. Participants travel from cities as far away as Peoria, Illinois, cruising in classic and modern Corvettes to the heart of Memphis. Over the past 15 years, the event has helped raise more than $5 million for St. Jude, covering treatment, travel, housing, and food for families so they never receive a bill.

Community Power Driving Change
The drive traditionally ends in Memphis, where the community gives participants a warm Bluff City welcome. Locals come out to cheer, local businesses sponsor pit stops, and Memphis’ signature hospitality shines. The route has even inspired other cities to host their own drives, all benefiting the lifesaving work happening every day at St. Jude.
