FOG RALLY 2025
An Evening of Impact
The street closed down. The red carpet rolled out. The engines roared into place.
On October 23, 2025, FOG RALLY 2025 opened with a Gala Fundraiser at the Fairmont San Francisco that became the most successful fundraiser in FOG RALLY history — carrying the Ferrari Owners Charitable Foundation (FOCF) past $3 million raised for children and families in need across the Bay Area.
The evening was presented by Ferrari Silicon Valley, with Exclusive Sponsors Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry, Fairmont San Francisco, and Franco Uomo.
The evening began with a heartfelt meet-and-greet with children from Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area, who arrived on the red carpet to sit inside the Ferraris, meet the drivers, and receive gifts from the FOG RALLY community.
For children battling critical illnesses, Make-A-Wish grants dreams that serve as beacons of light in their darkest days — and FOG RALLY is honored to both fund those wishes and share its energy, engines, and excitement with them.
Guests posed for the press photographer beneath the Heroes & Hope Gala Fundraiser banner in Ferrari-red gowns, designer tuxedos, and bespoke suits.
Inside the Gold Ballroom, guests were greeted with fine caviar from The Caviar Co., wine from Sterling Vineyards, and displays of jewelry by Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry, timepieces by MB&F, and sartorial menswear by Franco Uomo.
The ballroom glowed in the luminous Heroes & Hope: An Evening of Impact thematic art, brought to life by Helium Ultra Luxury Brand Management, whose campaign artwork, projection design, and printed program guide unified the event in iconic style.
The ceremony opened with FOCF Board Members and Gala Chairs Anthy Donati and Tony Abdulmassih, who welcomed guests and set the tone for an evening of inspiration and gratitude.
Newly elected FOCF President Damon Focaracci, styled by Franco Uomo, delivered a powerful message that tied together the experiences of the drivers and the children they serve. His reminder was simple yet profound: “It’s that important!”
FOCF Board Member Konstantina Chilingirova took the stage to thank the sponsors who make FOG RALLY possible — from Presenting Sponsor Ferrari Silicon Valley to Exclusive Sponsors Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry, Fairmont San Francisco, and Franco Uomo. Not simply luxury brands, but a community of leaders driven to give back.
After a heartfelt message from Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area, auctioneer Greg Quiroga took the stage for a thrilling, record-breaking auction that had the room on its feet. From caviar and champagne experiences by The Caviar Co. to custom Franco Uomo suits, rare Creed Fragrance collections, and world-class wine dinners, every bid raised brought the room closer to making wishes come true.
The Fund-A-Need ignited the room. From life-changing wishes for critically ill children to housing for veterans, educational programs for under-resourced youth, and mental health support for trauma survivors — every paddle raised turned passion into tangible impact.
From gifts of $10,000 to $100, the room carried FOG RALLY’s mission forward: Driving to Make a Difference.
The FOG RALLY 2025 Gala Fundraiser was the result of countless hours of dedication and teamwork from the FOCF Board, Nicole Krassner of Nicole Villa Krassner Events, and Matthew Mountford of Helium Ultra Luxury Brand Management.
And the Gala was only the beginning of the weekend — and the weekend, the beginning of a new era for FOG RALLY.
