Driven to Give
A youth-led charity rally uniting Rhode Island's car community in Newport. Founded by Jack Masse, a high school senior, in collaboration with the Audrain Automobile Museum.
What started as my senior project became something much bigger. I'm Jack Masse — a Rhode Island high school senior with a passion for cars and community — and I set out to build an event that could actually make a difference. The Rhode Rally is that event.
For my senior project, I partnered with the Audrain Automobile Museum to turn an idea into a real, annual flagship event — one that channels Rhode Island's incredible car culture into something that gives back. This is just the beginning.
From Newport to the starting line — a look at the team and moments driving this event forward.
Hi! My name is Jack Masse. The Rhode Rally is my senior project — a charity car rally with one simple goal: to harness Rhode Island's incredible car culture and community to raise money for causes that matter. I'm honored to be working alongside Ben Chester and the Audrain Automobile Museum to bring this vision to life.
For the last eight years, I have been deeply involved with a wide scope of events we have hosted through the Audrain Automobile Museum, incorporating everything from domestic and international rallies, to a world class four-day Concours & Motor week we run here in Newport. As an extension to our growing internship program, I am thrilled to help guide Jack toward his goals of running a world class event. We are excited to hone in on all details of this dynamic event, so it is executed as smoothly as a new Cadillac!
The Audrain Automobile Museum is one of Newport's most celebrated cultural institutions — and the official home of The Rhode Rally. Their support and collaboration have been essential in bringing this senior project to life as a real, community-driven event.
