The Barrett-Jackson Auction Company and the NASCAR Foundation will host the charity sale of a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Red Rock Edition on Thursday to raise funds for the UNLV School of Medicine Dept. of Emergency Medicine Residency Program Fund.

The fund helps provide physicians training as emergency medicine specialists at UMC, Nevada’s only Level 1 Trauma Center, where victims of the recent Las Vegas shooting continue to be treated.

“Like Barrett-Jackson, our friends at NASCAR have strong ties to Las Vegas and were deeply saddened by the recent tragic event,” Barrett-Jackson chairman and chief executive officer Craig Jackson said in a news release. “We’re so proud this longtime partner of ours is stepping up to help the medical personnel who are fighting daily to save the lives of those injured. It is just one of many initiatives to help to show our support for Las Vegas at this difficult time.”

The rare Jeep hails from the personal collection of NASCAR vice chairman and chairman of The NASCAR Foundation Mike Helton. It is one of less than 50 production vehicles built by Jeep and inspired by the celebration of the 50th Annual Easter Safari in Moab, Utah.

“It’s an honor to donate this vehicle to benefit the UNLV School of Medicine Dept. of Emergency Medicine Residency Program Fund,” Helton said. “We were reminded of the importance of emergency room personnel two weeks ago in Las Vegas. The work that was done under the most trying of circumstances was admirable – and invaluable. This is a cause the Foundation is proud to support, and we urge others to do so.”

The charity sale will take place during Barrett-Jackson’s 10th annual three-day Las Vegas Auction at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, where Helton and NASCAR Hall of Famer Rusty Wallace will be present as the rare Jeep crosses the block at approximately 3:30 p.m.

“We are proud to be a part of an incredible culture where many of our partners have stepped up over the years to donate spectacular charity vehicles, and this Jeep is another great example,” added Steve Davis, Barrett-Jackson president. “We are honored to provide the platform for moments such as this, which are all about us joining together as a community to support Las Vegas and the many families that need our help after such a tragic event.”

The three-day auction will be broadcast on Discovery and Velocity, and internationally on Velocity Canada, Discovery UK and Discovery Turbo UK.
