GARAGE ITALIA
Founded by Lapo Elkann in 2015, and based in Milan, Garage Italia is at the crossroads of the fashion, design and automotive industries. It is a concept-to-product trendmaker driven by the unchained creativity of culture in motion.
The first Who Gives a Funk Concert was launched at Garage Italia in Milan inspired by the idea that music played in an exclusive unique location can transform a community through a good cause. Hundreds of partners, friends and passionate people answered the call to help found the WGaF family.
A new mobility for l.
The first cause we raised money for was to pay for treatment for L., a young Ethiopian girl born with spastic quadraparesis, a disease that went undiagnosed and untreated for the first 13 years of her life, confining her to a wheelchair and leaving her unable to speak. The proceeds paid for her treatment and speech therapy. We were able to move her from a school for disabled children to one for able-bodied pupils.
Today she attends high school and earns noteworthy grades. This initiative was sustained and promoted by the city of Milan and CISOM Milano (Corpo Italiano di Soccorso dell’Ordine di Malta).
