The passion and mission of this nonprofit is just incredible! Creating an environment where critically and terminally ill kiddos (and their siblings) get to be superheroes for the day is such a beautiful experience to witness. I look forward to witnessing this nonprofit expand and impact more lives across the world for many years to come!

I’ve volunteered twice in Sydney for the Driven Project and it truly is my favourite event to attend, seeing the smiles of the kids and their families is amazing, for once the cars are not the highlight, the smiles steal the show! ~Marcel

I had the opportunity to volunteer with Driven Project last summer in Cincinnati, Ohio and it is hands down the favorite event I’ve ever been able to cover photography / videography wise. Just seeing the spark in these kids eyes made it so apparent on how important the Driven Project is.

In just that one day, I was able to build such a strong relationship with one of the kids and his parents that they actually invited me to the hospital for the ringing of the bell ceremony when he was officially cancer free later in the year.

Can’t say enough good things about the team and their hearts behind the mission. Can’t wait for this years’ event!

Volunteering with Driven Project has been an unforgettable experience as an automotive and trackside photographer. Capturing every powerful moment these kids will cherish forever—alongside supercars, smiles, and shared stories—truly makes it the best day ever.

It’s more than just photography. It’s about giving back, building new connections, and creating lasting memories with amazing people.

I’ve had the privilege of volunteering with Driven Project at two of their incredible events, and all I can say is—it truly is the best day ever. This organization creates an unforgettable experience for the kids, and in turn, an equally rewarding experience for all the adults who get to help and be part of it.

As a volunteer photographer, capturing these special moments has been nothing short of magical. Driven Project has given me the opportunity to combine my favorite passions: helping others, photographing unforgettable moments, and being surrounded by amazing cars. I couldn’t ask for more.

Thank you, Driven Project, for providing such an extraordinary experience for everyone involved. I’m deeply honored to have been a part of it.

I've had the honor of volunteering for the Driven Project for a couple of events now, both of which have been the most inspiring experiences of my life. Seeing these incredible kids smiling and having the time of their lives through the magic of this organization is truly a blessing to experience.

This is a world-class non-profit led by an exceptional leadership team and an equally great network of volunteers/drivers, and is unlike any other. I have full confidence that the Driven Project will continue to expand its global reach and be able to help thousands of critically ill children who deserve 'supercar therapy' in their lives.

I look forward to contributing however I can in future Driven Project events, and remain extraordinarily grateful that I'm able to make even a small positive impact in these children's lives!

Ive been volunteering at Driven Project for over a month now and can't even begin to describe the impact this wonderful nonprofit charity has on the kids. The amount of work that goes on behind the scenes is massive but its all worth it in the end seeing the pictures of the children having one of the best days of their lives. I cannot wait to attend the next event!

Volunteering at Driven Project's recent supercar therapy event was a truly wonderful experience. This amazing nonprofit brings joy to critically and chronically ill children by giving them unforgettable experiences, and I was thrilled to be a part of it.

As a volunteer, I helped with various activities, including a fun-filled scavenger hunt and other engaging games for the kids. The highlight, of course, was the supercar rides in collaboration with Barrett-Jackson. Seeing the children's adorable smiles and hearing their laughter as they zoomed around in these stunning cars was heartwarming. Parents shared that they hadn't seen their kids this happy in months, and it was such a joy to witness.

The event didn't stop at the supercar rides. Afterward, the kids enjoyed a variety of fun activities that kept their spirits high. The entire day was filled with smiles, laughter, and moments that everyone will cherish forever.

The team at Driven Project is incredibly dedicated and passionate, ensuring every child felt special and loved. Their efforts made a significant impact, providing families with a much-needed break from their daily challenges and creating precious memories.

Being a part of this event was a delightful and transformative experience for me. It highlighted the power of kindness and the difference it can make in the lives of others. I wholeheartedly support Driven Project and their mission and encourage anyone to get involved with this wonderful organization.

I had the incredible opportunity to participate in a supercar therapy event organized by Driven Project, and it was truly a life-changing experience. This remarkable nonprofit specializes in bringing joy and excitement to critically and chronically ill children by providing them with once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

From the moment the children arrived, they were treated like celebrities. The smiles on their faces and the sheer excitement in their eyes were heartwarming. It was clear that this event made a profound impact on not only the children but also their families. Many parents shared that it was one of the most uplifting and joyous occasions they had experienced in a long time.

The supercar rides were the highlight of the day. Seeing the kids' faces light up as they got into these incredible cars and felt the thrill of the ride was unforgettable. The happiness and exhilaration they felt were palpable, and it was an honor to be part of such a special moment.

The dedication and passion of the Driven Project team were evident in every aspect of the event. They went above and beyond to ensure that every child had the best time of their life. This organization is making a significant difference in the lives of these children and their families, offering them a brief escape from their challenges and creating cherished memories.

I can't express enough gratitude for the opportunity to be involved in such a meaningful event. Driven Project is doing incredible work, and I wholeheartedly support their mission. If you're looking for a way to make a real difference in the lives of children facing critical and chronic illnesses, supporting the Driven Project is a wonderful choice.

I've seen firsthand what terminal and life-threatening diseases can do to both children and their families. The anxiety, the pain; every waking moment is a reminder of what was, what shall be, and what never may come to be. The ability to bring even a momentary respite from this cycle - a chance to forget all the pain and just be a kid - should be applauded and praised. This the mission of the Driven Project, and its one that they not only attempt, but succeed in.

I've had the privilege of volunteering at several Driven Project events over the last few years and it is by far the most fulfilling experience I've ever had. The impact these events have on the kids and their families is undeniable, and you can see it in their faces as they continue to light up as the day goes on.

Talking with the families and hearing their stories, and all the struggles that they and their kids have gone through is so inspiring, and really helps put into perspective how important and impactful the work the Driven Project is for them. My role is typically in photography/videography, so I get to make my way through the event, focusing directly on capturing the joy and memories as they happen. It's a unique perspective being able to move around and visit with as many people as I can, observing all their happiest moments and being able to record and preserve those memories for them.

On the back end, working with Driven Project is a breeze. It's incredibly well organized, and everyone involved is so enthusiastic and helpful. The local police departments, volunteers, and venues all work together so well. It makes it much easier to enjoy the day and focus on what's important when everything behind the scenes is running smoothly.

It's always an honor to work with DP any time they come around. If you have the opportunity to donate your time, talents, equipment, facilities, or any other contribution to the Driven Project, I highly recommend doing so. It's an incredible family to be a part of.

It is so hard to truly express in words just exactly how incredible the Driven Project is. The concept in itself is truly amazing, but the way it is executed is beyond anything we could ever have imagined. The organisation behind each event is unbelievable with no stone left unturned.
We have been so incredibly lucky to be involved in Supercar Therapy events and a Super yacht therapy event, and I can honestly say that those events have been the best days of our kids lives.
Nate (and all the other Co-pilots) are always made to feel like they are the most important person in the world. It is the perfect escape from their daily realities, which at times can be painful, and hard and gives them the opportunity to step away from reality into a world of fast cars and amazing people.
We are so grateful to Kevin and the entire Driven Project crew for everything they do for not only our incredible kids, but the entire family.
From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you ! We could never repay you for the experiences you have given us, but truly hope that the smiles and memories you have given our family, help to keep you motivated to keep driving this incredible project forward.
You are an amazing bunch of people, and Kevin you should be so incredibly proud of bringing your vision to reality.
Kevin you are truly Nates BFF !

Seeing what they continue to do is honestly remarkable. Kevin the owner is one of the most humble and passionate people I’ve ever met and makes this entire mission a reality. Couldn’t recommend them more. Keep it up guys!

I've had the honor of working with Driven Project for the last two years - and been able to witness first-hand the beautiful experiences created for hundreds of critically ill children as well as their families. The combination of philanthropy, supercars, and great people, is a recipe that creates huge impact for all involved. It's a spark of hope and joy for people whose worlds have been turned upside down, and shows them that they truly aren't alone in this battle.

Pairing this magical formula with amazing execution from the Driven Project team, gives me full confidence that this organization is going to positively impact thousands or millions of children battling critical illnesses in the years to come. I'm grateful to play a very small part in this massive impact.

Over the last few years, I have had the opportunity to attend and volunteer at the Driven Project. It's been incredibly inspiring to witness first hand how positively impacted the kids and their families have been. Hearing the stories shared from parents of the co-pilots has taught me that the memories created during the drives make a life-long lasting impression on their hearts. This Project is so intentional and unique. It has every person involved feeling so special and seen.
The Driven Project team genuinely cares about the well being of others and it shows in the way they execute the day with a heart full of drive to fill peoples lives with love.

The impact this organisation has had for critically ill children is undeniable, and something you'll read plenty about here. But, what you may not read about, is the impact it has on the family of those children - which is perhaps even greater.

As an original volunteer, I've had the pleasure of experiencing and participating in Driven Projects events for over five years now. It's easy to get caught up in the magic of any of a hundred moments at a given event. Our co-pilot VIPs are the shining stars of each outing, from the moment they see the first super cars roll in, to their enthusiastic waves at the end of the day.

However, if you look a little further, you'll see an even greater outpouring of emotion from the families behind them. To see their son, brother, or best friend forget their challenges and truly be a worry-free kid for a day is a rare occurrence. But, perhaps even rarer, is that person's chance to experience something special for themselves at the same time. Every child in these challenging situations is part of a family unit that's experiencing it together.

It's a sibling that's mom hasn't been home in three months because she's been at the Children's Hospital.

It's a parent that hasn't been able to prioritise themselves in as long as they can remember.

It's a best friend that has had to walk to school alone for a new school year.

For every VIP we provide an experience to, we aim to include their family and support group in any way we can. We arrive early and stay late to make sure everyone gets time in a supercar and share in making the memories. We check in on mom, dad, brother, and sister to make sure they're included each step of the way. And we take the time to have them share the spotlight whenever possible.

It's takes a village to raise a child, and an entire community to support one facing critical life challenges. It's a privilege to be able to share these individuals' stories for a day, and I'm thankful that these five years that have past is only the beginning.

I had the privilege of joining the Driven Project as a board member and witnessing the incredible impact they have on children and their families. The Driven Project is a charity that surprises kids who are going through hard times with a ride in a supercar with a police escort. There is no experience quite like it. Being able to share laughs
with child and family and to see them forgetting all the challenges they are facing for a moment Is magical.

The Driven Project also helps the kids and their families by creating a supportive community around them. They show them that they are not alone, but loved and valued. The Driven Project is more than just a charity, it is a source of hope and inspiration. I am so thankful to be part of this amazing team and look forward to participating for years to come.

The Driven Project is truly a once in a lifetime organization, providing once in a lifetime experiences to the children it serves

I’ve had the privilege of watching the driven project grow since it’s very inception in 2018, and the impact this organization has on each and every community it touches is nothing short of remarkable.

Volunteering for this organization is the greatest honor that has ever been bestowed upon me. Watching children’s faces light up with joy, when every day you know they are fighting unimaginably difficult battles, is an experience I wish everyone could have.

And that dynamic in it of itself I think is the magic of the driven project, the children are the focal point of the events, but everybody involved from the volunteers to the families to the local police officers, are equally ecstatic.

I've been volunteering for the Driven Project since its inception and can't express enough the amount of joy and impact it has had on children and their families.

The events always run so smoothly. The communication between drivers, volunteers, and police is top notch. It makes for a very professional environment, which is absolutely crucial if families are going to let their children sit in a supercar with a driver they've never met. That says a lot for how much they trust the Driven Project.

I will always be a supporter of the Driven Project and encourage others to support as well.

Witnessing the impact of supercar therapy provided for these brave children has been an unforgettable journey. The organization's commitment to creating magical moments for these children is evident in every event they organize.

Driven Project's dedication to safety, inclusivity, and creating a supportive environment for the superhero co-pilots, their families, and the team is commendable.

I am honoured to have been part of the Driven Project family, and I look forward to continuing my journey with them.
