Hi everyone,
This Saturday, 33 fellow British car enthusiasts will set off on one
of three 800-mile legs of America's British Reliability Run, the
annual two-day British car rally that has raised more than $130,000
for children's charities since 2003.
Each entrant is responsible for soliciting money from friends,
enemies, family, and coworkers, and each team's goal is to raise $500.
All proceeds will go to three very deserving and highly-rated
children's charities. Be assured that 100% of all contributions will
go to charity; each team will personally bear all travel costs
including lodging, zipties, food, duct tape, and spare parts.
In Alabama, teams are raising money for Magic Moments which fulfills
the non-medical wishes of chronically ill Alabama children, providing
them an opportunity to turn away from illness and suffering if only
for a moment and feel what it is like to just be a kid again. For
Michigan, teams are driving to provide "camperships" to children who
otherwise might not be financially able to attend The Hemophilia
Foundation of Michigan's "Camp Bold Eagle." For Pennsylvania, we're
helping the Gia Nicole Angel Fund, whose mission is to enhance the
daily functioning of a child with special needs and his or her family
by awarding assistance through the purchase of a specific item or
items. Read more about all three charities here.
We're all very busy so let's get right to the point. If you still have
a few dollars in the tax deduction cookie jar earmarked for deserving
groups such as these, your donation would really be appreciated,
however small. You can securely use your credit card to make a
donation right now, just go to http://www.abrr.org and click on Donate
Now (in the upper right-hand corner). You can indicate which charity
should receive your donation by choosing the corresponding state's run.
If you care to learn more about the charities, see the routes, or
peruse some of the varied and outstanding examples of British cars
entered to date, ranging from a beautiful 1949 Bentley Mk VI to a 2007
Aston Martin Vantage (with a bunch of Triumphs all over the place!),
please checkout the ABRR website at http://www.abrr.org.
In gratitude,
Blake Discher, Event Founder
