I do believe the good folk from Dodo Juice, Lepsons, Snap On, Paintshield, Gtechniq and others will be around in a relaxed capacity as well, doing demos and showing stuff, and if anybody wants to know anything about Wilton House jaykaybi be happy to chat. And there will be purveyors of car-meet grub and drinks on site, naturally.
RALLY FOR HEROES INFORMATION
So what is Rally For Heroes 2012?
It is a driving event across Europe organised to get together a group of like minded driving enthusiasts to raise money for charity and have fun whilst doing so.
How far will we be going?
The idea is to drive 5 miles for each fallen serviceman/woman since the beginning of the Middle Eastern conflicts. Now unfortunately that figure is rising monthly. In 2010 we covered just over 1700 miles, in 2012 we won't be far off 2500.
How does it raise money and for whom?
The majority of money is raised by obtaining sponsorship from companies and in turn advertising them on our vehicles, this gives the companies exposure for the time leading up to the event and then on the trip itself, not to mention the media coverage. We also appeal to the general public for help by selling merchandise and even street collections. Last year the event raised in Excess of 32000 for Help for Heroes. In 2012 we will be looking to raise 100,000 with the money this year being split between Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion.
How much money goes to the charities and how much is used by the entrants?
Unlike other events where entrants have to raise sponsorship to fund the trip, 100% of money raised through entrants individual fundraising and donations from the general public goes straight into the charity site. All the attendees pay their own expenses from their own pocket.
A large proportion of the money raised, comes via corporate sponsorship in return for advertising exposure. Obviously to administrate, market and marshall an event of this magnitude carries a cost, the entry fees cover a large proportion of those costs, with the balance coming from the corporate sponsorship. The remainder is then split between the charities after the event. All the attendees, pay their own way expenses from their own pocket.
Can I sponsor/donate?
Yes, any corporate sponsorship should be directed through the contact section on http://www.rallyforheroes.com/home.htm
Individual donations can be made through my virgin giving page at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fun...

Just to clear up any confusion, we have posted (Well Jay from wilton house supercars has) 10am for a few hours.
the day will actually be 10am - 4pm.
Its running on other forums stating whole day.
BUT it will be much busier first thing than later on in the day, so if your coming to view members cars in the car parks and meet up with each other then first thing is for you.
If you want to pop along later we will all still be there and will have more time to speak demo and buy etc one to one.

Unfortunately all the spaces have been allocated on the Rally. We will be there with some of the cars taking part, to join with the PH petrolhead spirit, as well as an awareness stand and a fundraising point towards the two charities.
Please not that any money donated to Rally for Heroes is donated 100% to the Royal British Legion, and Help for Heroes, as the rally itself is 100% funded by the drivers themselves.
