Make-A-Wish International and F1 Authentics launch special memorabilia charity auction

Make-A-Wish International - a charity supported by F1 - and F1 Authentics are celebrating their collaboration with Formula 1 by launching a special memorabilia auction to raise funds which will help grant more wishes for children with critical illnesses.

Items going up for auction include an exclusive money-can’t-buy Ferrari factory tour, a signed Carlos Sainz Ferrari race visor and a limited-edition two-time world champion Mika Hakkinen signed acrylic print. Other prizes include a bottle of Ferrari Trento Las Vegas Edition, a stay at Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers, signed racing gloves by F1 Safety Car driver Bernd Maylander, a Michael Schumacher replica 1:2 race helmet and more.

The auction launched over the United States Grand Prix and will support Make-A-Wish’s mission to create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. These once-in-a-lifetime experiences include meeting an F1 driver, attending a Grand Prix or sitting in a race car. With the help of the racing community, F1 and Pole Position Reports, Make-A-Wish was able to grant 52 incredible F1 wish experiences in 2023, targeting to achieve the same in 2024.

In terms of some of the items available in the auction, the Scuderia Ferrari Factory Tour is an exclusive and invaluable experience, usually reserved only for Ferrari clients and partners. It’s a rare opportunity to discover up close all the specialist skill, passion and innovative technology that goes into making a Ferrari. The auction ends November 5th, 2024.
