Lion-Aid - Fun(d) raising event: Lion-Aid, a Dover-based Charity created and dedicated to conserve the Lions in Africa from being shot for trophies has sent me this - a great idea to raise money.
Will you join us in a FUN summer event to raise money for lions? Join us at the Monte Carlo or Bust Banger Rally - PLEASE SUPPORT!!!
Monte Carlo or Bust (http://www.montecarloorbust.eu/ ) is an event designed for those with a strong sense of fun and adventure. Our fun-filled journey through spectacular settings provides the ideal setting to raise money for LionAid's work to conserve lions.
The Rally starts in Saint Quentin in France on Friday 12th July and finishes on Sunday 14th July in Monte Carlo. The teams taking part should preferably be driving a banger costing less than £250.
We are looking to gather a PRIDE OF LION CARS taking part and plan to travel in convoy from Dover, across the Channel on the ferry to Calais and on to Saint Quentin on the Thursday afternoon, the 11th July to complete registration.
If you would like to join us on this wonderful weekend, the price to enter is £200 per team but we can offer you a discount if you join the Pride of Lion cars taking part!!! (email us on
info@lionaid.org for details).
The more of you that join in, the more we can do. We have GREAT plans and may even be able to provide the bangers (cars) if we get enough support! We will also have people on hand to provide essential car maintenance if the need arises!!
So come on, everyone, this a GREAT chance to show your support for lions and have lots of fun along the way. We will be there and we want to see a HUGE Pride of lion cars taking part!
Get your friends, family and please, all local businesses will you send a team or even just sponsor us? We will help you promote your team and all businesses taking part will get their Company names painted onto the cars! THINK OF THE PUBLICITY!
And if you are not in the UK, you can still support this event by donating/sponsoring! We will flutter a flag from our convoy of cars for every donor/sponsor to this event!! And we will blog from the route and post photos as we go!!
THE FIGHT IS ON FOR LIONS!!! SO PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP TO REGISTER YOUR INTEREST.
