Chevrolet
Detroit
Grand
Prix
presented
by Lear
In Its
Return
to
Downtown
Detroit,
Event is
Looking
for
Approximately
1,500
Volunteers
DETROIT,
MI – As
it
celebrates
its 40th
year in
2023,
the
Detroit
Grand
Prix
Association
(DGPA) –
the
official
volunteer
organization
of the
Chevrolet
Detroit
Grand
Prix
presented
by Lear
– is
looking
for
approximately
1,500
people
to help
host the
June 2-4
event.
Returning
to its
original
home on
the
Streets
of
Downtown
Detroit
this
summer,
the
Grand
Prix is
looking
to
increase
its
volunteer
ranks by
several
hundred
people
in 2023.
Once
again
proudly
sponsored
by Lear
Corporation,
the DGPA
is
expanding
several
existing
departments
in 2023
and new
assignment
areas
have
been
created
with the
Downtown
relocation
of one
of
Detroit’s
most
popular
annual
summertime
festivals.
More
than 700
returning
and new
members
have
already
signed
up for
2023,
and the
DGPA is
looking
for
approximately
800 more
people
to
volunteer
this
summer.
Registration
is now
open
online
at
www.DetroitGP.com/volunteer.
Founded
in 1983,
the
second
year
that the
Grand
Prix was
hosted
in
Detroit,
the DGPA
has
become
one of
the top
volunteer
organizations
in
sports
as
similar
models
have
been
incorporated
at
racing
events
across
the
United
States
and
beyond.
With
friendly,
helpful
and
community-focused
members,
DGPA
volunteers
are
great
ambassadors
for the
Grand
Prix, as
well as
Detroit
and the
entire
region.
More
than 200
members
have
volunteered
for 10
or more
years at
the
Grand
Prix and
approximately
20
people
have
served
as
volunteers
since
the
event
was
first
hosted
in
Detroit
in 1982.
“We
appreciate
all that
the DGPA
and its
members
do to
support
the
Grand
Prix and
help us
host
this
world-class
event
each and
every
year,”
said
Michael
Montri,
President
of the
Chevrolet
Detroit
Grand
Prix
presented
by Lear.
“Our
volunteers
are
often
the
first
people
our
guests
see and
interact
with
when
they
arrive
at the
Grand
Prix and
the last
people
they
engage
with
when
they
leave.
They
have
been
such an
important
part of
this
event
for
decades
and
their
hard
work and
commitment
are
essential
to
everything
we do.
As we
begin a
new era
of the
Grand
Prix in
Downtown
Detroit
in 2023,
we will
continue
to rely
on our
dedicated
core of
volunteers
to
provide
great
service
to
everyone
that
visits
the
Grand
Prix
this
summer.”

that
need
volunteers
for this
summer’s
event

Services,
