Bio
Aziz Elia Co-Founder & Visionary Behind the Wheel
Systems Architect Car Enthusiast Philanthropic Leader
Aziz Elia is the visionary behind the Revved Up Wishes Collection — a man whose passion for engineering and supercars evolved into a mission to bring joy to children facing life-threatening illnesses. As the co-founder of the Revved Up Wishes Foundation and a seasoned enterprise architect, Aziz brings deep technical knowledge and heartfelt purpose to everything he builds — from secure data systems to meaningful experiences for families in need. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Aircraft Mechanical Engineering, with a background that blends precision mechanics, systems design, and large-scale technology infrastructure. Fluent in three languages, Aziz has built a respected career architecting real-time identity and data integration platforms for state and national educational systems.
But it was a near-death medical emergency — a moment that left him with only a 20% chance of survival — that changed everything. That second chance became a spark, and that spark ignited the Revved Up Wishes Foundation: a way to use his personal passion for exotic supercars to deliver hope and happiness to children who need it most.
Aziz’s and Michelle’s private car collection currently includes 9 iconic supercars — including Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Maserati, Porsche, Corvette, and more. But for Aziz, these vehicles aren’t status symbols — they’re smile machines. Each one plays a role in making dreams come true for children battling serious illness. He is a proud father of four and grandfather to six, and understands firsthand the priceless value of family, health, and shared joy.
A second chance is a gift — and the most meaningful way to honor it is by striving to give children their first. — Aziz Elia
Michelle Elia - Co-Founder and Operations Director
Strategic Leader Car Enthusiast Advocate for Children
Most people meet Michelle Elia and see someone soft-spoken, serious, and thoughtful—and they wouldn’t be wrong. But give it five minutes, and that quiet strength turns into a big, warm laugh, a sparkling smile, and a no-nonsense drive to make good things happen.
Michelle is the Co-Founder and Financial Officer of the Revved Up Wishes Foundation, where she orchestrates every detail—stretching every dollar, ensuring events run seamlessly, and making sure each child leaves with memories that last forever. She’s the glue behind the scenes, keeping the mission moving forward and close to heart.
With a BS in Aerospace Engineering, an MBA in Marketing, and a PhD in Education, Michelle brings both technical precision and strategic vision to everything she touches. She also serves as CEO and CFO of her family’s technology company, leading complex statewide education projects across the country. Her focus: flawless execution, scalable operations, and purposeful impact.
A mom of four, Michelle has always been the steady guide and soft place to land—not just for her kids, but for countless others who felt like family in her home. Her belief in using innovation to uplift children also led her to pursue that Ph.D., focused on invisible outliers —students who quietly slip through the cracks.
Revved Up Wishes is Michelle’s way of bringing that same vision into the community. For her, horsepower and heart go hand in hand—and nothing makes her prouder than turning a lifelong love of supercars into pure joy for kids who deserve something extraordinary.
Cars are powerful machines—but they’re nothing compared to the power of a child’s smile. - Michelle Elia

2024
The Revved Up Wishes Car Collection was born from a life-changing moment. In 2024, after Aziz survived a near-death experience during what should have been a routine hip replacement surgery, we were reminded how precious and fragile life can be. That experience gave us a new perspective—one that inspired us to give back in a way that was as extraordinary as the second chance we were given. Rather than take the ordinary path, we chose to create something remarkable: a collection of some of the world’s most exclusive supercars, not for private indulgence, but as a platform for purpose. Each car would not only celebrate the passion of driving but also serve as a tool to bring joy, hope, and unforgettable experiences to children and families facing unimaginable challenges. From the very beginning, this mission was bigger than the cars themselves. Through the Revved Up Wishes Foundation, we began using the collection to provide exhilarating rides for children battling critical illnesses, while also raising funds for causes such as Make-A-Wish and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. What started as a personal journey of healing and gratitude has grown into a movement where horsepower fuels hope, and every mile driven creates a brighter future for children in need.
