Hi everyone,
Come Saturday, 25 British cars will begin the fifth annual "America's British Reliability Run." This year there will be two groups participating in two different locations. One group will participate in the Wisconsin run, driving 800 miles in two days through Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Another group will drive the Ohio run, again driving 800 miles in two days through Ohio, Virginia and Maryland. In the four years the run has taken place, it has raised more than $110,000 for children's charities!
To date, donations are behind last year, at just under $13,000. I realize the economy hasn't been so great lately, but this is when I ask you to contribute to this year's partner children's charities. The slow-down in our economy has hit most charities hard too, limiting the good works they are able to do. The charity for the Wisconsin run is the Center for Blind & Visually Impaired Children. The Center offers a coordinated program of educational intervention and prescribed therapies to infants and toddlers who are blind or visually impaired, including those with additional disabilities. You can learn more about this organization at their website:
https://www.cbvic.org/. At the end of this run we'll all park our cars at the Center for an "It's OK to Touch" car show for the visually impaired kids!
The charity for the Ohio run is Adventures for Wishkids, whose mission is to enrich the lives of children with life threatening illnesses and their families by providing year round, fun-filled group activities and destination events, fostering joy, laughter, normalcy and supportive networking opportunities. Their adventures are unique opportunities to spend quality family time in a fun-filled group activity or destination event outside the hospital. Even when children are sick and in the hospital, they have something to look forward to . the next great adventure! Again, you can learn more at their website: https://www.afwkids.org/.
One hundred percent of your donation goes to the charity, teams pay their own expenses out of pocket. In fact, your donation is made directly to the charity of your choice. Please help as you can - every little bit counts, and we welcome contributions large and small! You can donate by visiting the secure server site provided by our corporate sponsor, the Little British Car Company. Just follow this link:
https://securemg.ipl.co.uk/lbcarco/mibrr.html to donate safely and securely online. If you'd like, you can specify which car you're cheering for by checking all the registered cars on the event web site: https://www.abrr.org.
Choose from MGs, Triumphs, Minis, Austins, an Astin Martin, or a Bentley!
(Hemmings Sports & Exotic Cars Magazine is fielding a Triumph Spitfire!) But it's the total monies raised that is important, and not which team gets the most pledges! You will receive a receipt via US Post, and remember,
your contribution is tax deductible.
Thank you in advance for your help. I will let everyone know how we did soon after the run.
Cheers,
