Grand Prix Week at the National Medal of Honor Museum
As the Java House Grand Prix of Arlington gets underway, a racing pioneer’s journey from track to sky anchors Edward Rickenbacker: A Life at Full Throttle, alongside an on-track partnership, and live programs exploring speed, service, and character in moments that matter.
The National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation is the Official Charity Partner of the Java House Grand Prix of Arlington, with a portion of race ticket sales supporting the Museum’s mission.
Through an on-track partnership during race weekend, the Museum’s mission will be visible across live attendance, broadcast coverage, and digital platforms.
In partnership with the Penske Family Foundation, outstanding Arlington ISD JROTC cadets will be recognized during Grand Prix weekend for exemplifying the Medal of Honor values.
