The Driven Project is on a never-ending mission to bring ‘supercar therapy’ to children across the world who are battling critical and chronic illnesses that deserve a temporary escape.

Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Supercar Therapy

We take critically-ill children in convoys of rare and exotic supercars, escorted by local police departments across the United States. We team up with incredible event partners, racetracks, professional sports teams and celebrities to make the experience even more special.

Our events create the ultimate escape from reality, enabling our co-pilots to forget their struggles, and just be kids for the day.
Our mission goes far beyond just driving kids in cars.

We’re driving hope.

We’re driving strength.

And we’re driving community.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We aim to continuously provide supercar therapy experiences to children battling critical and chronic illnesses in the United States, Canada, and Australia.


The Driven project unites communities in a very special way, rallying people and organizations around a special group of kids and families who are battling very challenging circumstances. Our partnerships with children's hospitals, police departments, major events, professional sports teams, and celebrities all come together with a single goal: to provide each 'co-pilot' with the best day of their lives.

The Driven Project raises funds year round via corporate partnerships, direct donations, and in-kind donations of goods and services. Our organization is extremely lean, efficient and creative in our deployment of resources. Our large volunteer base allows us to create massive impact, with a small team.

Our tiny but mighty charity has provided 1,000+ police-escorted supercar therapy experiences to children battling critical and chronic illnesses in the United States, Canada, and Australia. The merit of ‘supercar therapy’ has been proven repeatedly - with countless medical practitioners and parents communicating the observable impact and change made on kids before, during and after their experience.
