About Celebration Exotic Car Festival
The Celebration Exotic Car Festival children’s charity event began when Jeff and Jim Ippoliti tragically lost their daughter Laura Ippoliti, a Ferrari and F1 enthusiast, in a car accident aged just 32. To bring some positivity to a heartbreaking story, Jeff and Jim decided to perpetuate Laura’s love of children and compassion for others.
The CECF Wish Foundation is a 501(c)3 charity and has been in operation since 2004. It is run by a team of dedicated volunteers who have raised over $4 million for children’s charities, including Make-a-Wish, Special Olympics, Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital, and the Moffitt Cancer Center.
