Doc1647545523 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 As some of you know, I've entered the Ohio Valley Rally the first weekend in October. Every year, Rally North America chooses a different charity to benefit from the event, instead of having prizes for the winners. For this Rally, my 83-year-old aunt is going to navigate for me and make sure we break as many rules as possible. She asked what car we were taking. I told her the Bentley, and she protested, "I'd rather we go in a faster car than that." I assured her that it would be adequate for our purposes. This year, the Epilepsy Foundation of Western Ohio will be the beneficiary. Here is more on the charity: http://ohiovalley700.kintera.org/faf/help/helpAboutOrg.asp?ievent=1075861&lis=1&kntae1075861=CCA7FBBFEA3F404293B2B34209495368 and more specific background of how this charity is connected with the Rally is here: http://www.rallynorthamerica.com/node/13 We are asking our friends (who are comfortable donating) to make an online donation through our page: https://www.kintera.org/faf/search/searchTeamPart.asp?ievent=1075861&lis=1&kntae1075861=CCA7FBBFEA3F404293B2B34209495368&supId=386523168&team=5553284 Your donation goes directly to the Foundation; none of it goes to the Rally or to our team. We are donating our time and paying all our own expenses (of course, we have a lot of fun in return, too). We're asking businesses to donate $50, and at that level we'll put your business advertising on our rally car. Any donation from individuals, even $10, is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Doc1647545523 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Thanks, Jones. That was very generous of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRD2BDF Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Impressive. I may try to get my dad to donate some as he's a small barber in lancaster and some adversiting wouldn't hurt. And your aunt has good tastes, wanting something faster but I can't imagine what could be faster than the Bentley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Thanks for checking with him, Cody. He would be the first barber to sponsor a Rally North America car. Farkas, thanks for the donation, buddy. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2highpsi Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Count me in. Just have to wait to get to a computer. The site navigation was a little weird on the iPhone (that I'm currently posting from) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) Thanks, Jordan. I appreciate that. Yeah, this year's charity donation page isn't very straightforward. Whether you select "join the team" or not, it's going to list the credit card holder as the donor. However you choose to donate, I get an email confirming your name and I'll acknowledge your gift. If you need a receipt for tax purposes, I can provide that or you can get it from the site. If you'd like some advertising for your business, mail me any decal, bumper sticker, or vinyl and I'll put one on the Bentley.

2highpsi Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Jordan, I just got verification of your donation. Many thanks--it's much appreciated. No problem at all. :thumbup: If you'd like come advertising for your business, mail me any decal, bumper sticker, or vinyl and I'll put one on the Bentley. I think I have some white vinyl decals of our logo that are around 2' long. If so I will definitely send a couple your way. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Any bars or restaurants become a sponsor yet? What size sticker could we use? These are the questions my owner will ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Jordan- I will PM you my address tonight. I'm proud to promote your business. Ramsey- No bars or restaurants sponsoring the car as of now. I haven't received my rally stickers yet, but they usually take up the larger spots on the car. I would say 18" square-max would be a good guide, perhaps 24-36" long if it's a narrow banner. Mojoe- Many thanks my friend. What was that weak excuse of yours for not driving in this Rally? :gabe: Jason- Thank you for your donation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got a yes from the owner. We will go over the details tonight. Is there someone you have making vinyls/stickers for you? Or someone you want us to use? We normally go thru atchley.

We normally go thru atchley. No, I don't have any way to make the vinyls. The Rally supplies us a basic package of vinyls with our number and with the national sponsors' vinyls. Having local sponsors is an idea I came up with a couple of rallies ago--just thought that if a business was generous enough to donate at a higher level, they should get recognition for that with a spot on the car if they wanted. Pickups Plus, WheelMedic, SloMo, Twenty One Pilots and Thiel's Wheels all gave me stickers for prior rallies to go along with their donations. Here are pics of how the stickers looked on Rally Dixie in 2012: http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104378&highlight=rally I appreciate you drumming up support, guys.

Doc1647545523 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Thank you, Brad. No worries--unless you provide me stickers, nothing goes on the car. If you have any problems getting a tax receipt from the website, let me know and I'll give you documentation with your choice of your name/business on it.
