The John Jay Racing Team has created a stunningly beautiful and deeply meaningful vehicle: Every detail matters. The car’s colors, logo and other details raise awareness of mental health. Today, they made a donation to support behavioral health at Vassar Brothers Medical Center. So proud of these students!
