San Diego, California – February 9, 2016 – DiMora Motorcar founder, Sir Alfred J. DiMora has recently teamed up with Cruise 4 Kids, a 501(c)3 charity based out of San Diego, California. Cruise 4 Kids’ mission is to raise money through charity events that support and fund other youth organizations on not only a local level, but state, federal and global level as well.
“When I first heard about Cruise 4 Kids, I knew it was something that I wanted to be part of,” said DiMora. “I am ecstatic to be on the board of directors for such a great organization.”
Cruise 4 Kids started as a sports and exotic car rally fundraiser in 2011 by founder, Nino Venturella. Building off of the success of the rally, he created black tie charity events called The Teddy Ball and The Bunny Ball.
“We are all about helping today’s youth and using our resources to raise awareness and money to help charities,” said Venturella. “It’s wonderful to have Sir Alfred on our board of directors and we are confident that his position in the automotive world will be an asset to our organization.”
Cruise 4 Kids donates stuffed animals to kids in need
The annual Bunny Ball is a black tie charity event held in the spring. The mission behind the Bunny Ball is to collect new stuffed animal bunnies to donate to sick and needy children. Similarly, the annual Teddy Ball is held during Thanksgiving weekend yearly and collects new stuffed teddy bears that are donated to comfort children in need.
“There have been many charities I've helped in the past, but helping sick and needy kids is dear to my heart, so when Nino approached me to volunteer on his board, I was very happy to help, especially when I found out that one-hundred percent of the proceeds go toward the kids. I hope my spheres of influence may help raise many more dollars to the cause,” stated DiMora. “Cruise 4 Kids has a fantastic track record of raising much needed money and awareness for others in need.”
The Cruise 4 Kids Sports & Exotic Car Rally invites high-end luxury car owners to participate in an intimate 40-mile car cruise through a predetermined area of San Diego and limited to 130 drivers. For those unable to drive in the rally, sponsorship packages are available to help raise money for youth charities.

Aside from his new position as a Cruise 4 Kids board of directors member, DiMora is also an entrepreneur and owner of DiMora Motorcar, having produced many limited edition luxury automobiles, and is currently producing the limited edition DiMora Vicci 6.2 convertible.

Cruise 4 Kids participated in the 2015 San Diego Auto Show on December 31, 2015 - January 3rd, 2016. C4K had a booth in the "Exotic Vault" and invited 9 rally participants to showcase their cars. Big thank you to Brent Wilsey (2014 Lamborghini Aventador), Maurice Rizzuto (2009 Lamborghini Murcielago), Dr. Marty Fallor (2006 Rolls Royce Phantom), Thomas Sparrvik (2014 Bentley Mulsanne & 2010 Bentley Continental GTC Convertible), Enrico Del Mar with Modern Image(2015 Ferrari 458 Spyder) and James Wie with ACG Automotive(2015 Ferrari 458 Spyder) for donating their cars. Another special thanks to Robert Grubbs with Grubbs Photography for donating the photo of the gold wrapped Lamborghini and Kyle Isbell with KI Studios for designing the poster and donating the print.
We had a great time meeting parents and their children as we passed out free posters and checkered flags. Parents thanked C4K for putting smiles on their children's faces and asked what C4K was all about. We were overwhelmed with the positive feedback as many signed up for C4K email updates for upcoming events.
C4k had the pleasure of being next to Al Dimora of Dimora Motorcar who displayed his Vicci 6.2 Emperor Convertible. It was such an amazing car we had to give it's own spotlight... Enjoy!
DiMora Motorcar exhibited one of the stylish, limited-edition DiMora Vicci 6.2 Emperor Convertibles at the San Diego International Auto Show Exotics Vault. The distinctive 430-horse power rolling art on wheels is the result of a unique joint collaboration between automotive designer Sir Alfred J. DiMora and equally influential Totemic Energy Artist Master Lee Sun-Don of Taiwan.
“I love cars and I love art, so I set out to collaborate with world renowned artists to create the first true limited-edition production rolling art. Each artist that I am working with is hand-picked by me,” said DiMora.
Upon purchase of each DiMora Vicci 6.2 Emperor Convertible, the buyer also receives the original one-of-a-kind painting by Zen Master Lee. Each large-scale painting in the Great Treasure Gate series pays artistic homage to the rare door knockers created during the Ming Dynasty (1368 to 1644) by incorporating an actual Ming Dynasty doorknocker into the painting. From that, the skilled artisans at DiMora Motorcar invest no less than 750 man-hours to reproduce the artwork onto the hood and side panels of the car, right down to hand laying 24-karat gold leaf as a final step. The Vicci 6.2 Emperor Convertible retails for $1,200,000.
