Presenting Sponsor

The FOG Rally is much more than just a road rally. It is the signature annual event of the greater Bay Area Ferrari community. It provides participants, sponsors, and donors the opportunity to celebrate a shared passion for Ferraris, motorsports and the open road while making a difference in our community.

As the flagship event of the Ferrari Owners Charitable Foundation, in just nine years the FOG Rally has raised over $2.1M to help meet the needs of children served by organizations including Opportunity Impact (now Collective Impact), Blue Planet Network, Make-A-Wish Northeastern & Central California and Northern Nevada, and, most notably, Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area.

PAST SPONSORS

Now in it’s tenth year, the Rally has become synonymous with excitement and opportunity, community and charity.

Harnessing the automotive spectacle of 50 Ferraris traveling across the state’s most iconic roads and landmarks, the Rally brings together over 100 participants and 25 sponsors each year to raise funds to help make a difference in the lives of children.

The 2021 FOG Rally will take place September 23-26 and travel from the Bay Area to Santa Barbara.

On September 23rd the Rally kicks off with the Launch Party and fundraiser at historic Menlo Circus Club in Atherton where the 50 Rally Ferraris, adorned in full livery of all sponsor logos, will be spectacularly displayed on the manicured polo field. The next morning, September 24th, the cars will depart from Menlo Circus Club and make their way on a carefully selected route to the beautiful Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara for a weekend of events and activities, culminating in a farewell breakfast on September 26th.

FOCF Fund 21 for Kids

To celebrate our 10th anniversary and a decade of making a difference for kids, Ferrari Owners Charitable Foundation has established the FOCF Fund 21 for Kids to make grants to charitable organizations in the Greater Bay Area providing services which have a direct and immediate impact to help kids in need.

The FOCF Fund 21 for Kids will support targeted programs in the Bay Area Crisis Nursery and Larkin Street Youth Services as well as additional organizations which will be selected by the FOCF Board from charities nominated by Rally drivers, participants, and sponsors in the coming months. Our past grants to these organizations have provided groceries, meals, life necessities, transportation passes, and emergency shelter.

BAY AREA CRISIS NURSERY

The Bay Area Crisis Nursery (BACN), established in 1981, is the only place in the Greater Bay Area that provides short-term residential care and emergency childcare services to give parents time to focus on resolving a crisis or stressful situation. Knowing their children are safe, parents can make better use of other services to mitigate issues causing stress in the family. This proactive approach reaches children before abuse occurs.

BACN is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year and serves children birth through 5 years. It provides a warm, safe, loving homelike environment for a child to stay up to 30 days. They provide everything a child needs while there – bed, food, clothing, shoes, diapers, formula, and the rest. All of their services are free, confidential and voluntary.

The Bay Area Crisis Nursery is truly a magical place!
