Camp Quality Charity Drive

To quote Luca di Montezemolo, Chairman and President of Ferrari, “We don’t sell really a car, but we sell a dream”. And for many people in the world, Ferrari is a passion, a legend and a dream.

One of the great things about owning a ferrari, is giving kids a ride in it: sharing their excitement and wonder. The Ottawa chapter of the Ferrari Club of America did just that earlier this summer, with the Camp Quality for the annual Ferrari’s in the Rain charity event. Camp Quality is a non-profit, volunteer organization that provides a week-long camping experience and year-round support for children with cancer and their families. For the past 2 years, ferrari’s from the Ottawa chapter of FCA have  participated . It’s not really called the Ferrari’s in the Rain, it has just rained every time we’ve gone. And it isn’t about the ferraris; it is actually a car show with other makes and models including a 70 year-old Ford. But you wouldn’t know that, ever since we showed up and started giving rides.

Being very busy giving rides for 90 minutes, I only got the chance to snap a few ‘tourist’ photos. So no finely crafted effort here. I did try to get a more interesting perspective and jumping back out into the road after the gang had passed, wasn’t easy: getting in and out of my car is not the easiest thing to do.
