First and foremost Machine Seven is part of TMPF, which is an idea house for the creative methods to serve children and families in need. The Machine Seven idea and its tours are product of this ethic. The name Machine Seven is derived from the machines we use (cars) and the seven principles we champion (Service, Charity, Inspiration, Safety, Efficiency, Excellence, and Drive). In celebration of possibility and for practical purpose, we use donated and newly designed supercars and repurpose them in order to launch sponsored charitable service tours for those in serious need. We determine these needs by listening to our partners & beneficiaries and by allowing the public to provide feedback on the most pressing situations presented on our blog and website. The primary tools we use to gauge interest and urgency are Facebook & Twitter, whereby Machine Seven responds to the outlined needs and situations that have the most tweets, likes and responses. The needs we are most sensitive to response and fulfillment are:
Machine Seven serves in partnership with numerous organizations who operate at full capacity in regions all across the world.
In addition to our strategic and measureable mission of service and support, Machine Seven also understands that it serves as an inspiration to others who have untraditional tools that can be used in philanthropic capacities never before imagined. That is why it is so fun to drive around in the world’s first philanthropically commissioned supercar, where every mile has a charitable purpose and intent.
The goal of our first tour which is set to begin on 11/4/11 is to drive over 1,000,000 for good while providing our nations premiere nonprofits and causes with the support they need to fulfill their mission critical activities. We are also DRIVEN to inspire others to a higher expectation of their capacities & tools they have that lay with in their reach... for good. During our tours we will be promoting the ethic of service and imagination in the worlds first continuous charitable supercar tour. We will also be making stops along the way in response to specific community needs. We are able to do this because of our generous sponsors and private donors who allow all operating costs to be covered so 100% of all funds goes to service instead of overhead, administration, and repairs.
After completing our goal of being Driven™ for 1,000,000 in our re-commissioned Mach 7 Supercar, we will continue with our next Machine Seven offering…who knows, it could be a vintage Ferrari, Bugatti, Lamborghini, or something spectacular you have never seen before. Whatever the case, Machine Seven will forever be:
- Driven: For Service
- Driven: For Charity
- Driven: For Inspiration
- Driven: For Safety
- Driven: For Efficiency
- Driven: For Engineering and Design Excellence
- Driven: For Good
