calgary7er Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) EDIT: September 2, 2015 EVENT CANCELLED !!! Some of you might know that I was in the planning stages to lead a run on September 20th to Vulcan Alberta - kind of a Porsche's attack the Starship Enterprise thing. Well unfortunately I am going to have to put those plans on hold for a while as My wife and I have registered to participate in the BBBS of Calgary Chrome'15 Rally. http://www.chromerally.ca/ In our event Calendar, it has this event listed as being on the 19th of September, but in all truth it is on the 20th. If someone in charge of the calendar could change that, it would be greatly appreciated. There are Four ways that fellow members can come out to support this worthy cause: 1. Enter to participate in the Rally (minimum $499 needs to be raised to enter). 2. Enter the Show and Shine at the Grey Eagles Resort & Casino ($25.00 entry fee). 3. Simply come out and see the cars and vote for your favorites (suggested donation of $20.00). 4. Help myself and/or other members involved in the Rally reach their personal fundraising goals. Any and all donations are completely tax deductible, and you receive a tax form as soon as your donation is processed. My wife and I are hoping to raise $1,500.00 to support these extremely important organizations, and would appreciate any support that fellow members here could give to help us towards that goal. My donation page is listed here: http://chromerally.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=1141752&lis=0&kntae1141752=5862F9606338451EAACA82E0FF0D1483&supid=425630351 I also know that there is at least one other member registered here by the name of 911 Turbo (Martin Kratz) that is participating, and he started a thread here back in June: http://www.porsche.ab.ca/showthread.php?1087-BBBS-CHROME-car-rally-September-20&highlight=chrome%2715 His donation page is here: http://chromerally.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=1141752&lis=0&kntae1141752=DBED7D166FCA4A0C9402B2A655F5A453&supId=424375954 Any support that fellow members can give us to reach these goals would be appreciated.....or better yet, lets get a bunch of us participating in the Rally and have a strong PCA Wild Rose showing. Thank you, and hope to see lots of you out on Sunday September 20th. PS: If other members are registered for the Rally, please let me know and I will edit my post to include your pledge page.

calgary7er Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 I just got notification from the organizers of Chrome'15 that they are having to cancel this years event! Please be advised that after much deliberation, we have decided to postpone CHROME until summer, 2016. Public response has been overwhelmingly positive, but the summer has proved to be a difficult time to secure the level of sponsorship and number of rally participants that we originally envisioned for this event. Considering that timing is the primary barrier to success, and recognizing that a good first impression is critical to the future growth of CHROME, we decided it would be best to allow more time to ensure the event is as successful as we know it can be. We fully believe that CHROME has the potential to become a marquee event for Calgary and we remain committed to making it a successful annual fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters. As such, we will continue planning, without pause, to bring the event to life next summer. Thank you those that did support me in this run. I am asking that the organizers refund back the donations that were made to my campaign, and will inform you when the organizers confirm with me. Too bad, looked like it would've been a fun day:( Quote Link to comment
