mother I strongly believe that it is fundamental to help all women and children to
give each of them equal opportunities’ says Maria Grazia Chiuri Co ‐ Creative Director,

designers at Valentino and create this unique piece of automotive haute couture.

cause, and we have created a wonderful piece of motoring art to support the auction.
This is a unique collaboration and a rare mix of iconic luxury marques,
I can’t wait to see the finished car!’

2015 event to create such an amazing vehicle and then for them to allow us to
auction it to the benefit of our three Charity partners – Shine On Sierra Leone,
OrphanAid Africa and Sumbandila. To make the investment of time, money and
creative energy and to produce a unique item is inspiring and truly embodies
the spirit of Cash & Rocket and our ladies – don’t just be something, do something!’
