    I'm looking for a 360. I will have one soon. I've seen all the posts of get togethers. I was reading one from New York where a guy from Ferrari of Long Island took a sick kid for a ride. Have you ever organized anything like this for sick kids or maybe veterans? Just curious, seems it could really raise some spirits of people who need it.

    I have thought this many times. Like make a wish. Unfortunately, make a wish is more concerned with accepting your monetary donation more than your time and sharing of an exotic sports car.

    In unofficial ways I have been raising spirits in that way for years. Would be nice to do it in an organized manner though.

    The car group I belong to has done this a few times . Example, we go to a children hospital in NYC , take gift and give the kids an opportunity to sit in our cars ...these kids are all smiles for the day . Many of them have terminal conditions

    I don't know who organizes it so it can be done ...

    There is an annual exotic rides for sick kids near Atlanta. I'm not sure when it is, but keep an eye on the Georgia section and come on down for it! Everyone that has participated really enjoyed it.

    Welcome to Fchat!

    In 2006 Buddy Delaney organized Ferrari Fest/Dreamcars Charity Event in Columbia at the
    State Museum. He teamed up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Family Connections of SC.
    The event was very successful. The children were allowed to take photos sitting in the cars
    before the event started. Great number of participants as well as on-lookers.

    is getting ready for it's 9th year taking young cancer patients and their siblings for rides in the car of their choice. The fun starts at Ferrari of Atlanta and works it's way to Atlanta Motorsports Park. We get about 125 kids and almost that many cars to come out the first Saturday of every June. Register at 2014 Rides to Remember Event | Rides to Remember. It's a wonderful day that all of us look forward to every year. Proceeds benefit Cure, Camp Sunshine and Ronald McDonald House.
