Bill Jacobs BMW Donates Rare Children’s BMW M6 Convertible Pedal Car to Benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities
Naperville, IL (PRWEB) February 28, 2014 -- Bill Jacobs BMW of Naperville is proud to announce their donation of a one-of-a-kind Children’s BMW M6 Convertible Pedal Car, paired with an ultimate weekend test drive experience in a BMW 750Li ($100,000 MSRP)* for the Big Mac Under Glass Charity Gala on March 8th, 2014. This exclusive BMW experience from Bill Jacobs BMW is part of the silent auction for the event, and proceeds benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana.
Produced by BMW in 2011, this exclusive M6 Pedal Car comes with a metallic-blue paint job, and sports the original M design. Powered by the easy-go pedal drive, this miniature BMW M6 Convertible delivers sporty driving enjoyment ideal for kids aged 3-7. The adjustable seat and extra-large rubber tires outfitted with M6 rims give this child’s dream car a true go-kart feel. Additionally, it is the only one of its kind in the United States, and thus, a very rare collector’s item.
For the adults, the ultimate weekend test drive in the new BMW 750Li also included in this package can be a great Father’s Day gift, or the perfect getaway car for a weekend with the girls. It combines charisma with superior performance and is powered by a 4.4-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo V-8, 32-valve 445-hp engine. This Ultimate Driving Machine offers gracious legroom and top-notch technology, making the new BMW 750Li an unforgettable experience for driver and passenger alike.
The Big Mac Under Glass Charity Gala is the organization’s largest annual fundraiser, attended by nearly 1,000 high profile guests. Attendees can expect a lavish evening at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers, 301 East North Water Street Chicago, IL 60611. This year’s theme is “A Night in the Emerald City.” Dress code is black tie optional, with emerald accents applauded. The event will kick off at 6:00 pm with a cocktail reception and silent auction, followed by an exquisite dinner and musical entertainment at 7:30 pm. The music, dancing, and raffles will continue into the night. To register for the event, visit http://www.Ronaldhousechicago.org/bigmacunderglass.
