Two great corporate level auctions are being offered to support our charity fund raising drive – bid before 7 June for
• Platinum Sponsor – high value marketing opportunity
• Team Member – get your own driver in our rally car
Read on to find out more about the rally and these two great auctions, and please take action today to help us secure corporate sponsorship to raise money for ChildLine – Cruelty to children must stop.
"Thundercrawl" in aid of ChildLine
This year the City Club has teamed up with the Northern UK Security Group (NUKSG) to take part in the White Hat Rally to raise money for ChildLine. This charity event takes place over three days in late September, starting in Boulogne (France) and ending up in Venice (Italy).
Although the route will take in some stunning scenery, there are many challenges along the way and cryptic clues to unravel. This gruelling drive kicks off with over 560 miles on the first day alone and, to add to the fun, we will be travelling in an “Old Banger”. All in the spirit of raising money for ChildLine.
Which is where you come in…
We are raising money in a number of ways and will be looking for personal donations, but right now we have two huge opportunities that you won’t want to miss. We are seeking a corporate Platinum sponsor and our last Team Member for the rally – both are separately up for auction via closed bids.
Corporate Platinum Sponsor Auction
As the Platinum sponsor you will have the biggest area of the vehicle on which to place your company name and logo. The team and crew will proudly wear your logo’d T-shirts, and promote your company at every media opportunity they encounter!
You will be assured significant online coverage, with prominent placement on websites and all future communication relating to the Rally. We will happily work with your marketing team to ensure you get the best from this event.
But it's not just about PR......It’s about raising money to help vulnerable children….
Send your closed bid to Platinum@nuksg.org clearly stating your highest bid. A reserve price has been set on this auction, so aim high!
Team Member Auction
Travelling through some of the most stunning locations and awesome roads in Europe, this event guarantees a stimulating drive. But it’s not just about being behind the wheel…….you’ll need a sense of adventure, humour (and luck!) as you and our team attempt to complete our film-themed challenges.
The White Hat Rally is an organised motor rally that will give you a trip to remember. You will be shaken but not stirred as you visit some of the sites and experience the thrills that make up a true James Bond adventure. Based loosely (OK, very loosely) on the escapades of James in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, this rally will provide you with the chance to try out dodgy accents and enjoy a Vodka Martini or two.
The route will take us from France through Switzerland to Italy with our final destination being the fabulous city of Venice and the water-ways from the film “Casino Royale”. During the trip there will also be the chance to visit the famous revolving restaurant at Piz Gloria and enjoy the view across the mountains while driving on some of Europe's finest (!) roads.
We'll also be visiting several of the most famous film settings including Blofeld's mountain lair from "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", the Dam where Bond performs the world's highest bungee jump in "Goldeneye", and the mountain passes where Goldfinger is chased in the DB5.
But it's not just about driving......Are you up for it...of course you are....remember "you only live twice" so come and join us for a trip to remember, and it’s not so much of an old banger, more a vehicle that Bond could have put to good use...
Send your closed bid to teammember@nuksg.org clearly stating your highest bid. A reserve price has been set on this auction, so aim high!
Both auctions will be conducted via a closed bidding system. All emails MUST be received before 23:59.59 BST on the 6th June 2010 and the winners will be announced on the 7th at the Manchester NUKSG meeting and later by email.
Please send an email with your best offer to Platinum@nuksg.org and/or teammember@nuksg.org
Further sponsorship opportunities will be offered in due course, i.e. Gold, Silver and Bronze, etc. and personal pledges will be possible online.
