LAMBORGHINI’S 100TH BIRTHDAY AT MARCONI AUTO MUSEUM
08.26.16
The world tour celebrating the 100th birthday of the late founder of Lamborghini sports cars will make its first stop in the U.S. at the Marconi Automotive Museum in Tustin at a fundraiser on Sunday, Aug. 28 to help feed and house Southern California’s “motel kids.”
Tickets for the birthday gala are $275 each and can be purchased here. Funds will benefit Caterina’s Club, a nonprofit founded by Bruno Serato that helps children whose families are forced to live in cramped, crime-ridden motels.
The evening starts at 5 p.m. with a cocktail reception, followed by a children's performance, dinner and live auction, and fashion show by Betinnis and dessert. You can see classic Lamborghinis specially selected for the event, along with the rest of owner Dick Marconi’s multi-million dollar car collection. You will also have an opportunity to meet scion Fabio Lamborghini, nephew of the founder and executive director of the Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum in Bologna, Italy.
Through Caterina’s Club, Serato feeds some 2,000 children each day. More than 1 million meals have been served so far and the need keeps growing. He has extended his mission by moving these “motel families” into permanent housing. He has already helped hundreds of families escape motel living by finding them apartments of their own and their lives have improved considerably.
Marconi Automotive Museum is at 1302 Industrial Drive in Tustin.
