CPD participates in supercar therapy

Oct 26, 2021

The rain did not stop our supercar parade on Sunday, October 24th. The Jeff Wyler Automotive Family, with the help of some local partners and law enforcement agencies, brought Canadian-based “Driven Project” to the U.S. for the first-time.

Founded in 2018, in Vancouver, Canada, the Driven Project was established to bring joy to children and teens facing both the mental and physical strains associated with illnesses that in some cases can be terminal.

Twelve supercars graciously on loan from their owners in the Cincinnati area provided the VIPs (very important passengers) with the ride of a lifetime throughout the Cincinnati region. Cincinnati Police Department motorcycles escorted the fleet from start to finish, ensuring their day was as safe and special as possible. 

The parade started at Jeff Wyler Automotive Family Headquarters in Milford, Ohio and made its way to Union Terminal where the group was met with signs and community members cheering them on. 

From there, the parade drove by Fountain Square and then made another stop at Cincinnati's Ronald McDonald House, followed by a drive-by Cincinnati Children's Hospital. 

 

The ride ended at the Jeff Wyler Automotive Family headquarters in Milford, Ohio. The VIPs were joined by a second group of children and teens where everyone got to take more supercar rides and interact with police and fire vehicles provided by Cincinnati Police, CPD SWAT, Milford Police and the Milford Fire Department.  

Watch a recap of the day:
