Formula 1 has announced a partnership with the global children’s charity Make-A-Wish to grant life-changing wishes and unforgettable experiences to children living with critical illnesses.
In a statement issued by Formula 1 today, the sport announced that it will be inviting eligible children and their families into the F1 paddock throughout the season.
Wish children will be granted ‘unique behind the scenes opportunities’ and the chance to watch action unfold on track.
Formula 1 has long facilitated wishes from fans worldwide, but now with Make-A-Wish as a supported charity, the sport aims to make even more dreams come true at select race weekends.
“Formula 1 is proud to be supporting Make-A-Wish in their mission to grant life-changing wishes to children and their families when they need it most,” said Formula 1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali.
“We have a long association with the fantastic work that they do, and I have seen first-hand the impact they have, so I am delighted that we can help make many more wishes come true.”
Luciano Manzo, the CEO and President of Make-A-Wish International said: “This transformational collaboration with Formula 1 is a great honour for us and strengthens our global alliance.
“Together, we have the power to unite the world of racing with the driving force of wishes, amplifying the positive impact we have on the lives of children with critical illnesses and their families worldwide.
“We eagerly anticipate deepening our ongoing collaboration with everyone at Formula 1.”
