"It was 1983 when my wife, Mary, finally succumbed to her lifelong struggle with type 1 diabetes. Before she passed, I promised her that I would find a cure for this terrible disease within my lifetime. Since then, we've made some incredible progress. But as proud as I am of the work my staff and our Iacocca Foundation-funded researchers have done, there is much work yet to be done. I ask you to support our aggressive cure research by making a donation to The Iacocca Foundation today."


Car Shows

We are pleased to announce the creation of The Lee Iacocca Award.  This award is created for car clubs and shows to acknowledge car enthusiasts and their passion for maintaining an American tradition.

This beautiful award is a one of a kind elegant plaque with a likeness of Lee Iacocca and his signature engraved in gold. Destined to become one of the most coveted awards in the car show circuit, proceeds will go to the Iacocca Foundation for Type 1 diabetes research.



The first award was presented by Lee Iacocca and Jay Leno at the Mustang Owners Club of California in June 2006.

To learn more how you can qualify to present The Lee Iacocca Award and help find a cure for diabetes please review the award details. Additional questions can be addressed to Norma Saken - norma@iacoccafoundation.org.

Visit here to see the car clubs and shows that have been approved to present The Lee Iacocca Award.
