F4 U.S. DRIVERS IN ACTION- ARCHINACO RAISES MONEY FOR CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL OF PITTSBURGH WITH MOVING ARTWORK

The livery of Chris Archinaco’s car for Pittsburgh will feature artwork from CHP patients

WAMPUM, PA (July 31, 2018)- The glimmering gold livery of Chris Archinaco’s No. 35 Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Century Auto Racing car will have a special colorful design applied over it for the Formula 4 United States Championship Powered by Honda Keystone Speedfest at Pittsburgh International Race Complex Aug. 3-5. The hometown driver will whip around the 19-turn, 2.8-mile track with original artwork from Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh patients worked into his livery.

Archinaco collaborated with local Pittsburgh-artist Callahan Malone, who patched together original pieces of artwork from the children to create one cohesive piece for the car.

“For my home race, I wanted to do something special to help raise money for the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh,” said Archinaco. “I teamed up with local artist Callahan Malone to integrate artwork from the children at the hospital into the livery of the car. She integrated their work into her own new designs on canvas, which were then digitized and applied to the car in vinyl. I think Callahan not only did an amazing job for the kids, but also created an exciting art car.”

The unique moving piece of art was created in effort to raise awareness raise money for the hospital, so it can continue its mission of being the world leader in children’s health.

“I’m so proud of my hometown and the astounding work being done at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh to improve the lives of children all over the world,” said Malone “This hard-working and compassionate community is truly inspiring and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a unique collaboration. I hope our artwork helps Chris bring home a win and brings joy and smiles to the incredible kids who helped create it.”

The original canvases will be available for auction at a benefit following the race. Three sponsors in Gateway Financial, YorkBridge Wealth Partners and Spand-Ice are also partnering with Archinaco to donate money based on positions gained and points scored during the race weekend.
