Finally getting around to posting up and saying "Thanks"!
Saturday's event was a huge success, in lieu of the pouring rain for the first half of the day and the confusion around Mission (btw, emails have been made to voice my displeasure at Mission Raceways). Regardless of a few items out of my control, the day went well.
Here is just a few numbers to recap the day:
$7,950 total donations raised (making the 2 year total just shy of $9,000!!!)
25 unique charities supported
61+ cars to start at the Kidney Foundation HQ in Burnaby
31 cars to finish the day at Iona Beach
~120 burgers (~100 people) for our Fort Langley lunchstop
15 sponsors
30 prize giveaways
countless soaked feet
and 1 memorable day!!
A huge thank you to everyone who attended and supported the Cruise and your accompanying charities. Whatever the dollar amount was donated to your charity of choice, that contribution will make a difference in someones life guaranteed! I enjoyed talking to the people who I managed to meet and hear your stories, and I wished I could have met everyone else but a very sincere thank you for coming out for the 2nd annual event.
Another big thanks to the Cruise sponsors who donated the prizes and cash contributions. There should be a link to the Streetshotz gallery very soon and I will be sure to post that link ASAP. If anyone else has pictures they would like to share from the event, please feel free to tag and share as many as you like! A participant photo gallery has been added to the Cruise website and added onto the Facebook page. Feel free to check them out and email/post any more pictures you wish to have in your collection.
And a special thanks to my sister and bro-in-law (Tamara and Todd Barker) who made the trip out from Alberta to take part in this event for the 2nd year in a row...you guys rocked that Matrix like no other!! ;-) Love you guys!
Enjoy that sunshine this summer and get out and drive those cars!
