The 2025 Cash & Rocket Tour came to a glamorous close in Taormina, Sicily, on 8 June, following a powerful four-day journey across Italy to raise funds and awareness for women and children in need.
A Sunset Show in Calabria
Day 3 ended on a high note with a free public concert at Arena dello Stretto, hosted in partnership with local authorities. DJ Federica Caracciolo, Luke Silva, and Martina Busi entertained a lively crowd as the convoy of 30 red supercars lit up the Calabrian coastline at sunset — a fitting end to the penultimate day.
Scenic Drive Through Sicily
On the final day, participants crossed the Strait of Messina by ferry and cruised along Sicily’s breathtaking coastline. First stop: a striking display at Piazza del Duomo, Catania at midday. From there, the convoy ascended to Piazza IX Aprile and Duomo di Taormina, where tourists and locals gathered to witness the grand finale.
This final stretch wasn’t just about horsepower and high fashion — it spotlighted the resilience of women and children affected by crisis, and the charities working to support them.
A Night of Glamour and Giving
The tour concludes this evening with an exclusive gala dinner at the Excelsior Palace Hotel Taormina, overlooking the Ionian Sea. Guests will enjoy fine dining, live entertainment, and heartfelt stories from the road, uniting in celebration and purpose.
Founder Julie Brangstrup shared:
“It’s an honour to end the 2025 Tour in Taormina, while supporting the incredible work of the Thamaia Association here in Sicily. This journey is about more than just driving — it’s about driving impact.”
