Charity Auctions for Emilia Romagna

As you remember, back in May of this year, a series of brutal earthquakes have caused a lot of damages and also casualties in the Emilia Romagna region, the place where the magic happens, where you can find some of the best automotive factories such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Pagani.

The weekend of the italian F1 GP, Ferrari has given to Google executive Benjamin Slossag the keys to his brand new Ferrari 599XX sold for an incredible price tag of 1.4m €. The proceeds from this car and other items sold at the charity auction have been donated to the victims of the earthquake.

But it's not over, the funds for this amazing region keep coming through charity car events held all around Italy, and also thanks to Mclaren that has decided to sell on Ebay the racing suits used by Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton during the italian F1 GP held at Monza. The proceeds will be donated to an hospital and a school for disabled children. Are you a crazy Mclaren fan and want to make a good deed? Here the links to the auctions:

Ferrari in: Forza Emilia

You may have heard that recently the area of Modena has been hit by a series of brutal earthquakes, even the most important factories such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati had to shut down for a couple of days. It's not a good situation, many houses have fallen down, many factories are damaged and unfortunately there are injuries and casualties.

Ferrari has decided to give a hand to the population by doing a charity auction for raising important funds to donate to the parents to the victims of the earthquakes. It's also a very good occasion to do the right thing and give the opportunity to Ferrari fans to buy very exclusive products such as the helmet of Felipe Massa, the racing gloves of Fernando Alonso. Let's take a look below to the hottest things you can buy from this auction.

As you know, only 29 units of the Ferrari 599XX have been produced. For this special occasion, they have created the 30th. The car will be delivered to the new owner straight to Monza from Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso during the Italian F1 Gran Prix. Base price: 1.300.000€

Great success at Ferrari charity auction

After the Japan F1 GP held at Suzuka racetrack, Ferrari has organised the presentation of the new Ferrari 458 Spider in Japan. During the event has been organised also a charity auction for the victims of the terrible earthquake and tsunami; Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso were there and offered the front wing of the Ferrari F150 F1.

The wing offered has been used in the Australia F1 GP and it has been decorated with the Japan flag and the message " Forza Giappone ". I'm happy to say that the event had a great success. That night Ferrari has collected 76 thousand € which will be used for the construction of a new school for the kids of Ishinomak. But it's not over, over the 76 thousand €, Ferrari has collected 500 thousand € during the launch of the Ferrari FF last July plus 115 thousand € given from the Ferrari Owners Club of Japan. Forza Giappone and viva la Ferrari!
