ABOUT DRIVE OF CHAMPIONS

Drive of Champions is a unique fundraising event hosted by the Calgary Police Youth Foundation in support of children and youth. At the Drive of Champions Cocktail Reception, guests will have the opportunity to view the collection of vintage and supercars, while bidding on the chance to co-pilot one of them on the journey west along highway 22X.

Our drivers, sponsors and organizers want to inspire and give hope to special children and their families, with an exciting and exclusive
experience in the co-pilot seat!

All proceeds go towards programming aimed at keeping children and youth safe from victimization and crime.
