About the Driven Project The Driven Project is a global nonprofit organization that helps critically ill children and their families 'keep driving forward' on the road to recovery, through our life-changing 'supercar therapy' experiences. Since 2018, we have been taking critically ill children on racetracks in rare and exotic supercars escorted by local police departments across the United States, Canada, and Australia. We team up with incredible event partners, children’s hospitals, professional sports teams, Formula 1 drivers, and celebrities (like Daniel Ricciardo and Post Malone) to make the experience even more special. Our events create the ultimate escape from reality, ensuring that no child has to miss out on being a kid. Our team is young, ambitious, and driven to make a real difference. We move at a fast pace and continually challenge the boundaries of what is possible for a nonprofit organization.
