The Annual St. Jude’s Runway for Life, an event to raise money for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases, will take place today in Beverly Hills with an extravagant showcase featuring celebrities, fashion, Broadway dance and an auction. Previous auction items have included jewelry, travel packages, autographed sports memorabilia and high-end fashion items. But this year, a private donator who wishes to remain anonymous has donated a rare 2003 Ferrari Enzo to be auctioned off for the star-studded event. The bright red sports car is one of only 400 cars in the world. It also comes complete with black interior, books, tools custom luggage and an opening bid of 875,000. It will be auctioned off by Andrea Fiuczynski, the president of Christie’s Los Angeles and is the second time an Enzo has been up for auction.

Coined one of the most famous performance cars in history, this is a dream for any sports car aficionado or collector. Not only sought after for it’s sleek design, this baby features a 650 hp 12-cylinder engine, carbon ceramic brakes, scissor doors, carbon fiber body, steering wheel mounted controls and a mere 1,300 miles. It also has the ability to go from 0 – 60 mph in 3.3 seconds, making it one of the fastest street legal cars in the world. Considering it’s also been housed and maintained at a Ferrari workshop, we’re guessing it’s in tip top shape.

Last year’s event raised in excess of 300,000 for St. Jude’s Cancer Research and is expected to top two million with this year’s auction roster. Being the 4th year this even has taken place, Runway for Life has raised over 3.25 million to date and is growing exponentially each year. This year’s event will take place at the Beverly Hilton International Ballroom and considering it’s success in the past and the fact that this monster is up for bid it’s sure to be a tremendous success.
