Three Years, Not Forgotten: Toronto Mustang Club Announces 9/11 Charity Road Rally Event
A Canadian Mustang car club has announced a 9/11 Charity Road Rally in support of the September 11, 2001 Children's Fund, Inc. “On the third anniversary of an event that irreparably changed the lives of thousands of children, we will focus our efforts to ensure that these young victims are not forgotten.” commented Fab Fiocco, President of the GTAMC.
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) January 22, 2004 --This fall, the Greater Toronto Area Mustang Club (GTAMC) will hold a Charity Road Rally to raise funds for the September 11, 2001 Children’s Fund, Inc., a charity formed with the purpose of providing financial support in the primary and secondary education of children directly affected by the September 11, 2001 terrorist acts.
The event is part of the annual calendar announced this month by the club. “On the third anniversary of an event that irreparably changed the lives of thousands of children, we will focus our efforts to ensure that these young victims are not forgotten.” commented Fab Fiocco, President of the GTAMC. “Now starting our fourth year of operation, the club is actively working with charity organizations at the request—the demand, really—of our members.”
In 2003, GTAMC-supported events provided assistance to three Greater Toronto Area charities.
Members of the GTAMC will pay voluntary admission fees to participate in the Road Rally event; however, the club is also looking for an event title sponsor and supporting companies to assist both with expense reduction and the donation of goods for raffle or auction.
“After our 4th Annual Car Show in June, this will be the biggest GTAMC event of the year.” said Don Roy, a club member that is coordinating the Road Rally event and related activities.
The GTAMC 9/11 Charity Road Rally will be run on Saturday, September 11, 2004. Between thirty and sixty vehicles are expected to participate.
