WHO WE ARE

Born in the Dust, Driven by a Legacy

The Drive On Rally Foundation wasn't born in a boardroom; it was born in the desert.

We are a foundation founded by veteran Rebelle Rally competitors—women who have navigated the dunes, conquered the 1,500-mile treks, and experienced the life-changing power of motorsports. But more importantly, we are friends of Kat Cerruto.

Kat was a rookie Rebelle whose journey was cut short by cancer, but whose spirit remained unshakeable. To know Kat was to know a woman of immense grit, authenticity, and heart. After her passing, we knew that the best way to honor her memory wasn't just through words, but through action. We wanted to bring her "Drive" back to the rally and into the wider world of motorsports.

Breaking the Barriers to Entry

As veterans of the sport, we’ve seen firsthand the hurdles that keep talented individuals off the track. For women and minorities, the "line" to the starting gate is often blocked by two major obstacles: extraordinary costs and a lack of clear access points.

The motorsports industry—from the driver’s seat to the engineering paddock—remains one of the most underrepresented professional spaces. We decided to come together to change that.

Our Vision: From the Rebelle to the Global Stage

While our roots are in the Rebelle Rally, our vision is much larger. We are dedicated to enabling more people to participate in the broader motorsports industry on both national and international levels.

By providing the financial fuel and the professional network necessary to succeed, we help our recipients turn "impossible dreams" into "race-day realities."

Our First Milestone

In 2025, we launched our first official grant program: The Drive On Kat Scholarship. This inaugural initiative successfully supported teams in the 10th Anniversary Rebelle Rally, ensuring that Kat’s spirit was represented in the constellations of the desert sky once again.

But this is only the beginning. From this foundation, we are building a sustainable ecosystem of grants, apprenticeships, and networking opportunities that will empower the next generation of motorsports professionals.

Help Us Build the Future

We are more than a nonprofit; we are a community of racers, mechanics, and dreamers. Join us as we continue to expand our reach and provide more opportunities for those who belong behind the wheel.
