Experience The Magic of Supercar Therapy

Our Mission

The Driven Project is a nonprofit organization that has one simple yet ambitious goal: to provide critically ill children with the best day of their lives through transformative ‘supercar therapy’ experiences.

We take critically ill children in convoys of rare and exotic supercars, escorted by local police departments across the United States. We team up with incredible event partners, racetracks, professional sports teams, and celebrities to make the experience even more special.

Our events create the ultimate escape from reality, enabling our co-pilots to forget their struggles and just be kids for the day.

Our Vision

Our vision is to create a world where every child facing critical illness feels supported by something bigger.

Why does this kind of support matter? It’s undeniable – we are stronger together.

The road to recovery is never a straight line. The battle with a critical illness doesn’t just happen in hospitals. It is a winding journey that can feel never-ending.

That’s why the Driven Project is so important. We make sure no child has to miss out on being a kid.

Our Impact

The impact of the Driven Project is simple but significant.

We drive hope, we fuel strength, and we rally community.

This special combination helps lead to:

  • Brighter health outcomes for our co-pilots
  • The creation of life-long memories
  • Bringing families closer together

9/10 Driven Project parents said their family’s well-being improved and brought them closer together

A Message From Our Founder

“We’re on a never-ending mission to bring ‘supercar therapy’ to children across the world who are battling critical and chronic illnesses.

Our event days are unlike anything else. The impact we are creating for our co-pilots and their families is all-encompassing and truly unforgettable.

We’re doing so much more than just driving cars – we’re driving hope, strength and community.

Join us for the ride, and help us keep driving forward.”

– Kevin Gordon

Founder & Executive Director

“You don't know how much this has meant for our family.
I have not seen my son smile in so long. This is such a thrill for him, so thank you.
Thank you.”

- Superhero Mom

The Perfect Partnership

DRIVEN PROJECT + POLICE

The Driven Project wouldn’t be what it is today without the trust and support of the incredible police departments we have partnered with in the United States, Canada and Australia.

Back in 2018, the Vancouver Police Department believed in the vision of the Driven Project, and helped the organization go from an ambitious idea, to a local movement, to the impactful international charity that it has grown into today.

Together, we make the impossible, possible.

Support the Driven Project and help make sure no child misses out on being a kid.

“We at RMH of Greater Cincinnati really appreciate our partnership with the Driven Project. The smiles that ‘supercar therapy’ brings to our families’ faces are invaluable. We have many families that spend months and years with us. Those that have already attended are always asking me when the Driven Project will be back!”

Craig Kotte

Program Manager, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Cincinnati

“It made the kids feel like a million dollars. Delivering positive patient experiences to kids undergoing treatment at Perth Children’s Hospital helps to bring moments of joy to both patients and their families. This can help to lessen anxiety and create positive memories, as well as enhancing confidence and happiness.”

Carrick Robinson

Chief Executive, Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation

“The impact this organization has had on critically ill children is undeniable, and something you’ll read plenty about here. But, what you may not read about, is the impact it has on the family of those children – which is perhaps even greater.”

Nick Williams

Driver Team

“There is no experience quite like the Driven Project. Being able to share laughs with child and family and to see them forgetting all the challenges they are facing for a moment is magical. The Driven Project is more than just a charity, it is a source of hope and inspiration.”

Ryan Brush

Driver Team

“Hearing the stories shared by the parents of the co-pilots has taught me that the memories created during the drives make a life-long lasting impression on their hearts. This Project is so intentional and unique. It has every person involved feeling so special and seen.”

Natalia Anja

Events Team

“The amount of joy I have seen volunteering at these events is really surreal. It’s a team effort with volunteers giving families a day filled with love and pure fun. I have been lucky to see Driven Project grow and expand to what it is today.”

Melissa & Jill Moree

Events Team

“It’s been amazing. It’s been one of the best things that I’ve been involved with at work. This is my 3rd event, and I look forward to each one every day.”

Kevin B.

Inspector, Vancouver Police Department

“Being a driver for this amazing project, I’m having every bit of fun as the kids are. To have an opportunity to do something like this with such a great cause, we’re so glad to be a part of it!”

Isaac E.

Former Police Chief, Cincinnati Police Department

“It’s really impactful on us as a traffic section to support the Driven Project, and it’s really neat to see how excited the kids are when it comes to the cars as well as the police motorcycles. It’s just a really great collaborative”

Janet S.

Traffic Section, Vancouver Police Department

“What an amazing event! I got so much out of my conversation with the VIPs riding with me. They’re so unbelievable, so resilient, you should’ve seen the smiles on their face. I hope the kids got 10-fold what I got out of the event!”

Chief Theetge

Police Chief, Cincinnati Police Department

“As a parent of a child who has struggled with serious medical challenges, we appreciate everything this wonderful organization has done for our son and our family. To witness not only my son but also his sibling’s happiness at the events put on by the Driven Project fills my heart. We wholeheartedly endorse the Driven Project charity and commend them for all they do to help their community.”

Larry W.

Superhero dad to Casey

“The Driven Project has made a huge and much-needed positive impact on Evan and our family. It allowed us to have amazing experiences that would not normally be available to us, surrounded by a community that understands our journey. Everyone on the Driven Project team, from drivers to event volunteers, went out of their way to ensure each event was memorable and where our family felt welcome. These events were often a bright spot for Evan in a schedule filled with medical appointments and provided him with opportunities to relate to his peers when he often felt ostracized in daily life.”

- Michelle S.

Superhero mom to Evan

“During active treatment, my son (Corbin) said that the Driven Project events helped him forget about his cancer and upcoming treatments for the day. Driven Project events allowed Corbin to live in the moment surrounded by the things he loves the most, fast cars! The Driven Project also introduced us to other families going through similar challenges, which provided us with a great support network.”

Elliot H.

Superhero dad to Corbin
