Making the Rubber Hit the Road: The 500 Horsepower Philanthropist - Ep. 36

Dream Drives for Kids was founded in 2014 by Eric and Amity Peterson in Portland, Oregon when they decided that they wanted to do more with their small collection of sports cars than just own and drive them. Thanks to encouragement from a family friend who worked at OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital, the Peterson's worked with medical professionals, social workers, and other non-profits to create a unique opportunity for children undergoing medical treatment.


While the idea seemed incredulous at first — driving other people's children who were undergoing treatment for serious disease around in high horsepower sports cars — the Peterson's refused to take "no" for an answer, and instead kept asking everyone "why not?" The result is an organization that brings joy to hundreds of children every year!
