Calgary-based Father’s Day fundraising initiative is offering participants the chance to win a luxury Italian motorsports experience valued at approximately $150,000 USD while raising funds for children’s diabetes initiatives and related pediatric diabetes care programs.
The Ferrari-themed charity campaign combines philanthropy with one of the world’s most recognized automotive brands, giving one winner the opportunity to travel to Italy for an immersive journey through the heart of Ferrari’s history, culture, and racing heritage.
Organizers have set a fundraising goal of more than $100,000 through the initiative, with tickets priced at $100 each and sales capped at 1,000 entries.
A Journey Into Ferrari’s World
At the centre of the campaign is an all-expenses-paid trip that takes the winner to some of Italy’s most iconic automotive destinations.
The grand prize includes access to Ferrari’s headquarters and factory in Maranello, where visitors can explore the birthplace of the legendary Prancing Horse brand and witness the craftsmanship behind some of the world’s most coveted performance vehicles.
The experience also includes a visit to the famed Autodromo Nazionale Monza, widely known as the “Temple of Speed” and one of Formula One’s most historic circuits. Participants will have the opportunity to walk through areas associated with decades of motorsports history while experiencing the atmosphere of one of racing’s most celebrated venues.
Additional highlights include visits connected to Enzo Ferrari’s legacy, access to Ferrari-themed attractions, Formula One simulators, and a series of curated hospitality experiences designed to showcase the culture, cuisine, and traditions of northern Italy.
Supporting Children’s Diabetes Initiatives
While the Ferrari experience serves as the campaign’s headline attraction, organizers say the initiative was created with a larger purpose in mind.
Proceeds from ticket sales will support children’s diabetes initiatives and pediatric diabetes care programs, with organizers aiming to raise awareness while generating meaningful financial support through community participation.
The campaign emphasizes family, community, and philanthropy, positioning the initiative as an opportunity for participants to support an important cause while competing for a once-in-a-lifetime prize.
The fundraising effort is targeting more than $100,000 in total contributions, with organizers noting that ticket sales have already surpassed the halfway mark.
Calgary Businesses Rally Behind the Campaign
The initiative has attracted support from a growing group of Calgary businesses and community partners.
Organizations currently associated with the campaign include Zulu Medical Aesthetics, HeartFit Clinic, Tammy Routley Realtor, Ace AI, and Ferrari Dream. The campaign is also seeking additional sponsors and supporters as fundraising efforts continue.
The winner will ultimately be selected through a live fundraising event that will bring together sponsors, supporters, Ferrari enthusiasts, and members of Calgary’s business community.

Tickets for the Ferrari charity raffle are priced at $100 each and are available through the campaign website. Sales are limited to 1,000 tickets.
