Overview

Two months before Ayrton Senna’s fatal crash at Imola, he and his sister, Viviane Senna, had discussed creating a charitable organization with the intent to help with the human development of children and adolescents across Brazil, in cooperation with other businesses. Instituto Ayrton Senna was then founded by Ayrton’s family six months later in 20 November 1994, under the presidency of Viviane. [1] The organization has since then invested US$80 million in social programs and actions in cooperation with other businesses and NGOs.

The organization is recommended by former Formula One chief executive Bernie Ecclestone, former Williams owner and founder Sir Frank Williams, and former drivers Alain Prost and Gerhard Berger.

IFLC 2016 had a performance to commemorate Ayrton Senna and presented a gift to Instituto Ayrton Senna. [2] [3]
