“We can not describe passion, we can only live it”  Enzo Ferrari

The FOG RALLY is much more than just a road rally. It is the flagship event of the Ferrari Owners Charitable Foundation (FOCF) and now in its twelfth year has become synonymous with community and camaraderie, excitement and opportunity, charity and giving back. Harnessing the passions for this brand and the spectacle of 50 Ferraris traveling across the state’s most iconic roads to its most famous landmarks, the Rally brings together over 120 participants and 30 sponsors each year to raise funds to help make a difference in the lives of children. To-date, FOCF has donated over $2.6M to organizations in the Greater Bay Area and Northern California.

FOG RALLY 2023 – a Ferrari-only event limited to 50 cars – will take place September 7 – 10 beginning with the Gala & Fundraiser and then traveling from the San Francisco Bay Area to Tenaya at Yosemite, located near Yosemite National Park’s south entrance.  The Rally will follow a carefully curated route designed to maximize the joy of driving a Ferrari with the backdrop of some of the state’s most iconic scenery.

Tenaya at Yosemite is much more than a hotel; it is a destination resort. The rooms are spacious and comfortable in this award-winning AAA Four-Diamond property, and for your enjoyment – in addition to all that Yosemite National Park has to offer – there are pools and a spa.

The Rally will again jointly benefit: Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area, marking the ninth consecutive year of our charity partnership; and, FOCF’s Fund for Kids which provides grants to local nonprofits directly helping under-served children and their families. For more information, see BENEFICIARIES.

Over the past eleven years approximately 500 drivers have driven 500,000 miles, travelling to Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe and Mendocino. The Rally is an opportunity to enjoy your car on some of the most iconic ‘Ferrari-friendly’ roads in California and share memorable and fun events with like-minded Ferrari enthusiasts. But most importantly – and what sets this event apart from others – is that by participating you are helping to make a difference in the lives of children in our community.

This is Ferrari Silicon Valley’s 10th anniversary as Presenting Sponsor for the Rally. Since 2005 Ferrari Silicon Valley has proudly served Redwood City and nearby communities.
