Central Alberta Dream Drive

Aspire Child Development Centre is excited to partner with the Central Alberta Dream Drive, a unique community event bringing together incredible vehicles, passionate drivers and some very special young Co-Pilots for an unforgettable day.

Taking place Saturday, September 12, 2026 at Westerner Park, the Central Alberta Dream Drive is about so much more than cars. It’s about creating moments of joy, confidence, connection and possibility for children and families in our community.

And this year, a portion of the proceeds from the event will support the children and families of Aspire Child Development Centre.

Could Your Child Be a Co-Pilot?

At the heart of the Central Alberta Dream Drive are the children.

Children and youth age 6 and older who have faced medical, physical, emotional or personal challenges are invited to apply to become a Dream Drive Co-Pilot.

Selected Co-Pilots will be paired with a driver and their vehicle for an experience that includes:

• A special pre-rally lunch with Co-Pilots and drivers
• A red-carpet introduction and pairing with their vehicle
• An unforgettable Dream Drive through Red Deer
• A community cheering them on along the way

For a child, it can be much more than a ride in an incredible car. It can be a moment to feel celebrated, build confidence and create a memory that lasts long after the drive is over.

Know a child who would love this experience?

Space is limited and not all applicants may be selected. Applications are carefully reviewed by the Central Alberta Dream Drive team, and selected families will be contacted directly with event details.
