The helmet worn by Verizon IndyCar Seies driver Graham Rahalin the GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma on Aug. 24, which was designed by 10-year-old cancer survivor Daniel Cooper, is being auctioned.

The artwork for Rahal’s GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma helmet was selected through the Graham Rahal Foundation’s third annual helmet design contest. The 2014 helmet design contest was held in partnership with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, a charity that Rahal has worked with since the inception of his foundation in 2009, to give children and families directly affected by childhood cancer the opportunity to submit their personal designs.

Members from Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation’s Hero Ambassador Program, family members of childhood cancer heroes who have chosen to get involved with the organization, were invited to create a unique design on a helmet template with a theme of “What Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation means to me.” Once the submission period concluded, Rahal selected five designs from the entries that were then posted on the Graham Rahal Foundation contest website, where fans voted for their favorite design. Following a weeklong voting period, Cooper's artwork was selected as the winning design and it was hand-painted by Art Rotondo onto a HP7 Bell helmet for Rahal to wear at Sonoma Raceway.

“It was an honor to open this year’s helmet design contest to the children and families directly involved in the fight against childhood cancer and Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation,” Rahal said. “Some truly inspirational designs were submitted that highlighted the impact Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation has made and continues to make in their lives. During the online voting period, the fans’ passion behind each artists’ design entry was incredible. Our winner, Daniel Cooper, did a great job and I was extremely proud to wear his outstanding design at Sonoma Raceway."
