Zach's Festivals of Speed Wish
Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia granted Zach’s wish to go to the Festivals of Speed with his family in Naples, Florida. But what unfolded over the course of the weekend exceeded all expectations and became the experience of a lifetime.
Upon arriving in Florida, a representative from a local Lamborghini dealership picked up Zach and his family in a Lamborghini SUV. At the dealership, Zach was given the VIP treatment, getting behind the wheel of multiple Lamborghinis and even taking exhilarating rides in two of them. The generosity of the dealership team left Zach in awe. He was showered with Lamborghini gifts and even declared that he’d work with them one day when he grew up. The excitement in his eyes and the joy on his face made it clear—this was a wish come true.
The next day came the grand event: the Festivals of Speed. Zach’s entrance was nothing short of spectacular as he rode into the festival in a Tesla Cybertruck. Greeted warmly by the festival and Make-A-Wish teams, Zach felt like a true VIP. The sight of the stunning collection of exotic cars left him mesmerized. Vendors and festival staff even had special gifts for him, making the experience all the more extraordinary.







One of the biggest highlights was Zach’s special role as a guest judge, tasked with selecting the best car of the festival. Without hesitation, Zach made his choice, presenting the prestigious trophy to the winning owner. But they didn’t stop there—the car’s owner surprised Zach by inviting him for a ride in the winning car, leading to an exclusive visit to a private car collection. Watching Zach beam with joy as he rode off was a moment his family will cherish forever.
For Zach, this wasn’t just a weekend of cars and speed—it was a weekend filled with kindness, generosity, and wishes coming to life. Every person he met treated him like family, ensuring he had the best time of his life. As he reflected on his adventure, Zach declared it “the best weekend ever.”
Thanks to the incredible supporters who made his wish come true, Zach now carries memories that will last a lifetime. And maybe one day, he’ll be working at a Lamborghini dealership, turning wishes into reality for someone else.
