SIGN UP NOW... 600 scenic
miles in 2 days |
The Countdown is On….
The 2006 Canadian British Classic Charity Run, or
‘CBCCR’ for short, is now a part of history, but
plans are already well underway for this year!
That’s right, with the success the first-ever CBCCR
that raised $8,500 for Camp Trillium, the organizing
committee is already hard at work fine-tuning next
year’s charity run, with proceeds to go to the
Canadian Diabetes Association.
Participants of the 2006 run had such a great time
they’ve already started to sign up for this year’s
event. It’s limited to just 50 classic British cars,
so don’t miss out, sign up today and start
collecting your pledges for what will be an
unforgettable drive in September 2007!
Just what is the CBCC? Well, it’s not a race. It’s a
driver’s event that tests the drivability of our old
British cars. The idea grew out of the ‘America’s
British Reliability Run,’ based out of Michigan and
is modeled loosely on several events held yearly in
Britain with the same goal: to help a worthy charity
and have fun while doing so.
For 2006, a small group of enthusiasts in the
Waterloo Region who had participated in a similar
event in Michigan in recent years felt the time was
right to stage a Canadian event. With the
sponsorship of the Optimist Club of Elmira, ‘The
Rocky Shore Run’ along the scenic shore of Lake
Huron and Georgian Bay became a reality.
On the weekend of September 22nd through September
24, 2006, a small but dedicated group gathered in
Cambridge, Ontario, to begin their 700-mile odyssey.
Braving the elements, they drove a variety of MGs,
Triumphs and a Jensen Healey on a 700-mile route as
they raised money for Camp Trillium, a Canadian
charity dedicated to assisting children with cancer.
They even made a dream come true for an enthusiast
suffering from Lou Gehrig’s disease, when he was
given a ride in his dream car, an MG TD being run by
one of the participants.
The goal for 2007 is to raise a minimum of $500.00
per car to help kids with diabetes. Teams will pay
their own expenses, so 100% of the donations go to
the Canadian Diabetes Association.
As noted earlier, interest is already running high
for this unique event so mark your calendar and
register right here on this site today and plan to
be a part of the 2007 CBCCR ‘Lake Shore Run’!
Hope to see you there!
