Patients at CT Children's Medical Center Get a Luxury Lift on Their Road to Recovery

New Country Motor Cars of Hartford continued its partnership with Connecticut Children’s Medical Center by sponsoring a car in the 17th Annual Concorso Ferrari & Friends event on June 25th in West Hartford. The “Parade of Kids” kicked off from Connecticut Children’s Medical Center with 40 luxury Italian automobiles each personally escorting a young child to West Hartford Center, where they arrived to the sound of thousands of cheering fans.
 
“As car aficionados, we enjoy seeing the kids light up when they get to ride in an exotic sports car,” said Tim Parker, Vice President of New Country Motor Cars of Hartford, who personally drove one of the cars. “Anything that we can do to brighten a child’s day who is being treated at the hospital is awesome.” he added.
    
Each year the Ferrari Club of America/New England Region hosts more than 150 Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Alfa Romeos, Maseratis and other unique Italian automobiles at their premier exhibition and fundraising event. Concorso draws more than 10,000 spectators. This year’s event raised more than $100,000 in support of the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center. New Country has participated as a sponsor of the event for eight years.
