Trying to see interest in Charity Run NYC to MIAMI
Well this is a little different from the Meets I normally put together. But I was thinking about putting together a gumball style event to benefit a charity(I would like it to go to Cancer). I know a lot of us would LOVE to go on a Gumball/ Cannonball run but cant shell out the $15+K for the event So this would be an event that is significantly cheaper and could maybe even be a tax write off to a point?
Anyways, the plan is to start in NYC and drive down to Miami, get some sponsors for prizes and a few more things that are getting worked out.
I have a few people from AMGpower already Interested... this would be an early spring event or late fall(for a full year of planning). 5 days of driving. And then everyone pitches in and we rent an enclosed trailer and ship all the cars back.
If I find there is some interest Ill start making phone calls and assembling the pieces together. Also begin to come up with some estimates of the event in Total...

Quite a few actually
There are different trailors to accomidate different amounts of cars...
If we could get 10-15 cars I would be happy... If other groups(of car owners) wanted to participate they would have to look in to there own trailer rentals...
Honestly I am only trying to gauge interest at this point... We'll be making 4 evening stops before you get to Miami, and then once in miami its up in the air...
