Gianna Tulio Supports Ryan Blaney’s Charity Efforts at Special Concord Event
Gianna Tulio, the fiancée of NASCAR Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney, has joined her partner in supporting a cause that holds a deep personal connection for both of them: raising awareness for Alzheimer’s disease and brain injuries. Recently, Tulio encouraged her social media followers to participate in an event in Concord, North Carolina, aimed at raising funds for the Ryan Blaney Family Foundation. The event featured a pop-up apparel stall, where all sales went directly to the foundation’s initiatives, helping families impacted by Alzheimer’s and concussion-related issues.
Blaney, who is in the midst of competing for his second Cup Series championship, has been particularly driven by the desire to help families facing these challenges. His fiancée, Gianna Tulio—a model and former Miss Hooters International—has fully embraced this mission. In an Instagram story, she invited local residents to stop by and support the cause, stating: “Come shop & help raise money!!! 10am-4pm. 9101 Overcash Rd Concord NC 28207.”
The Ryan Blaney Family Foundation: A Personal Mission
The Ryan Blaney Family Foundation was created with the goal of supporting individuals and families dealing with Alzheimer’s and brain health issues, stemming from Ryan’s own family history. Having witnessed the devastating effects of Alzheimer’s firsthand with his grandfather, Blaney felt a strong calling to help others affected by the disease. He has shared in interviews how deeply the illness impacted his family and why he felt compelled to create a foundation that would bring attention to this growing issue. Alzheimer’s, Blaney explained, is a disease that many struggle to understand, and he hopes to bring more awareness to both the disease and the lack of research surrounding it.
In addition to Alzheimer’s, the foundation also works to raise awareness about the dangers of brain injuries, such as concussions, which are a growing concern for athletes in contact sports like NASCAR. Blaney’s dedication to the cause reflects not only his passion for making a difference but also his commitment to using his platform to help others.
Gianna Tulio’s Role and Their Upcoming Wedding
As Ryan Blaney’s fiancée, Gianna Tulio has become an integral part of his charitable efforts. The couple, who have been together for nearly three years, is planning to marry at the end of 2024. While Tulio has gained attention in the public eye as a professional model and the 2021 Miss Hooters International, her role in the NASCAR world has expanded due to her relationship with Blaney. Tulio is also a brand ambassador for Hooters of America, and she’s now leveraging her platform to support the Ryan Blaney Family Foundation.
Her recent post on Instagram not only promoted the Concord event but also emphasized her dedication to supporting meaningful causes. Her involvement with the foundation, alongside Blaney’s, shows the power that public figures can have in bringing awareness to issues that matter to them.
Blaney’s Championship Aspirations and Personal Commitment
As Blaney continues his pursuit of a second NASCAR Cup Series championship in 2024, he remains focused on his professional goals despite some ups and downs during the playoffs. After a series of mixed results, including two top-five finishes and a few DNFs (Did Not Finish), Blaney is currently ranked sixth in the standings, with a 25-point cushion above the playoff cut line. His drive to succeed on the track mirrors his determination to make a difference off it. As he balances his racing career and charitable endeavors, Blaney’s growing reputation as both a champion on the track and a leader in the fight against Alzheimer’s and concussion-related injuries is making him a respected figure in and outside of NASCAR.
