Formula 1® and Make-A-Wish® to makewishes come true at Grands Prix for critically ill children

Formula 1® has announced its support of the global children’s charity Make-A-Wish, to grant life-changing
wishes and unforgettable experiences to children living with critical illnesses.
Through its support, Formula 1 will invite eligible wish children and their families into the Paddock at Grands
Prix throughout the season, providing unique behind the scenes opportunities and the chance to watch the
action unfold on track.
Since 1980, Make-A-Wish has granted more than 550,000 wishes, including more than 28,000 wishes in

  1. Formula 1 has long facilitated wishes from fans worldwide, but now as a supported charity, and as
    the number of motorsport-related wishes increases, Make-A-Wish will be able to make even more wish
    children’s dreams come true at select race weekends. The collaboration will also bring these
    transformational stories and once-in-a-lifetime moments to life through impactful content.
    Research has shown that having a wish granted can prove pivotal for many children suffering from critical
    illnesses, as they serve as a means of improving a child’s emotional and physical wellbeing, whilst also
    delivering hope and strength at a time when a child and their family need it most.
    Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO, Formula 1 said:
    “Formula 1 is proud to be supporting Make-A-Wish in their mission to grant life-changing wishes to children
    and their families when they need it most. We have a long association with the fantastic work that they do,
    and I have seen first-hand the impact they have, so I am delighted that we can help make many more wishes
    come true.”

    Luciano Manzo, President & CEO, Make-A-Wish International said:
    “This transformational collaboration with Formula 1 is a great honour for us and strengthens our global
    alliance. Together, we have the power to unite the world of racing with the driving force of wishes, amplifying
    the positive impact we have on the lives of children with critical illnesses and their families worldwide. We
    eagerly anticipate deepening our ongoing collaboration with everyone at Formula 1.”
