UPDATED! Make a Wish Canada is fulfilling dreams across the country! Check out this Grand Bend Motorplex fundraising event for the Southwestern Ontario branch: $1,000.00 Challenge, 4 hours of road course driving, 1 charity!
Drivin’ laps (so many laps!) for Make a Wish Canada in SW Ontario
Here are all of the goodies about this fabulous fundraiser:
$1000 Challenge Make A Wish Canada Fundraiser
When: Tuesday, August 6, 2024 — 10:00am – 4:00pm
Where: Southwestern Ontario car enthusiasts will gather at Grand Bend Motorplex to run their vehicles on the road course for 4 hours.
Admission: Free!
The challenge
All drivers will find and purchase a vehicle for less than $1,000 dollars to drive the course.
Winners will be judged on number of laps completed and how they make their vehicle stand out from the pack.
How those cars add up to cash for Make a Wish Canada
Once the event is completed, all of the vehicles will be picked up by Donate A Car Canada. All proceeds will be donated to Make A Wish Canada.
And what about you?
The public is encouraged to head out and take part in the road course run as well as the car show that will be happening during the event. A BBQ lunch will be provided with all proceeds going to Make A Wish Canada! The Grand Bend Sobeys is graciously donating all the food and drinks. The Grand Bend legion is providing a BBQ and a generous donation, too!
How Donate a Car Canada is involved
Once the event is complete, all of the racers will be donating their vehicles to Make-A-Wish Canada through our program!
The way this works: our supporting agent will either re-sell or recycle all of these vehicles. The net proceeds from that process will go directly to the charity. Each vehicle donor will receive a tax receipt (via CanadaHelps) for this additional gift.
We know that there are currently 11 vehicles registered, and we are so excited to see how the donations rev up for this amazing charity.
Do you have a vehicle of your own to donate? The process is simple and quick! Not only that, the tow is always free! Just click the “Donate Now” button on our site and we’ll have you rollin’ for charity in no time.
UPDATE: How did it go?
Make A Wish Canada is the happy recipient of a generous bundle of vehicle donations! On top of the funds raised at the actual Grand Bend Motorplex event, we are in process with our supporting agent on 9 vehicles. What this means: our agent is assessing on vehicles for re-sale and recycle value. They will update us when the math is all sorted out. Funds will come our way so that they can be disbursed to the charity. This may be be complete as early as accounting month-end in August. If not, stay tuned for further updates at the end of September!
