    Just heard the event has been moved to Saturday May 20, so as to not interfere with tax season.

    Details are:
    Sat May 20, 9am-12noon. Drive from Ferrari of Atlanta to Macy's at Lenox Mall. Police escort.

    Kids from Ronald McDonald House, aged 10-18

    Sponsors Macy's, Ronald McDonald House, Yashin Corp.,Andruw Jones Charity for Children

    Meet at Ferrari of Atlanta - just show up - no registration needed.

    All Exotic / Interesting Luxury / Muscle Cars are invited.

    Spread the word. If anyone receives a flier in the mail, please post it. Thanks.

    If you have any questions, as of now direct them to Craig Forbes at Aston Martin of Atlanta -- 678-802-5007

    Sounds like a good cause getting even bigger.

    1st time events like that are always big in Atlanta, I think this turn-out will break all records!!! There won't be any kids waiting too long, that's great.

    With just over two weeks to go, all I can find on the web about this event is......nothing!

    Checked the websites of the Atlanta Ronald McDonald Houses, the Yashin Corporation, and Ferrari of Atlanta, and......nothing!

    If these people are serious about putting this on, they'd better get some information out there, and quickly!

    it sure is a good cause. there are plenty of rides going on at Giovanni's. maybe we can somehow incorporate a make a wish foundation event out of a Giovanni event some day.

    give a kid a ride in an exotic. it just makes people soo happy.

    I just sent emails to FoA, the Yashin Corporation and the Atlanta Ronald McDonald Houses asking them to please add information on this to their respective websites. We'll see if it does any good.......

    Apparently it has grown where the organizers would like participants to RSVP.

    Please RSVP at (404) 841-8115 or [email protected] Ask for Joshua Butler.


    Sponsored by Ferrari of Atlanta, Camp Sunshine, Ronald McDonald House and Yashin Corporation.

    I'll be attending. I think its the least you can do if you own a Ferrari... its always good to give back to society when you can.

    Hope the weather stays nice and cool... what a great May so far!

    I'm going to try and make it to Lenox to check out the cars. I've got to bring my Cooper S in for service at Global, so if they get done in time I'll be there.

    What an awesome morning... So many cars showed up, so many smiles on those kids' faces... It was beautiful... A big thumbs-up to all of you who came out - like Tommy, from Alabama - so these kids could ride in some cool cars...
