What is the Driving out Cancer Motor Rally & Car Show?
The Driving Out Cancer Motor Rally -Maryland is a 50 mile police escorted drive starting at the Greene Turtle Sports Bar and Grille in Edgewater, MD and ending at the Tiki Bar in Solomon’s Island MD. The purpose of the motor rally is to increase public awareness and raise funds for cancer research, education and social support programs. The Car Show takes place at the ending point of the motor rally– the Tiki Bar. Car owners will be given time to clean up their cars for presentation in the show. Once the show opens, cars will be judged by the public in several categories including (but not limited to): Best Interior, Best Paint, Best in Show and more! Awards will be presented to the winners before the show closes.

Who can participate?
Anyone owning an antique, muscle, custom, exotic car or truck, high-end luxury vehicle, motorcycle or chopper. A $45 non-refundable registration fee is required for advanced registration ($55 for on-site registration). Because this is a charity event, registrants are asked to raise additional funds through donations and sponsorships. Donations can be made by check, cash or money order and submitted during the check-in process on the morning of the event. Donations/Sponsorships can also be made online using Paypal at Driving Out Cancer. The registrant who collects the most in donations will be recognized at the car show and awarded a prize!

How can I raise funds?
Be creative! Ask everyone you know for support: family, friends, colleagues, neighbors and local businesses. Previous Driving Out Cancer participants have had success in asking employers and local businesses to sponsor their participation. Many employers will match their employee donations as well. Be sure to let your donors know that the Geriatric Oncology Consortium is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and that their donation is tax deductible as a charitable contribution. Receipts will be issued for tax purposes.

Sunday may work with the weather.

From: Heidi Thomas <hthomas@thegoc.org> Hello Drivers! Just a few updates for you… We are aware that the weather for Saturday is looking somewhat questionable. We have arranged a rain date for the event which will be Sunday, September 28th. If it is necessary to post-pone the event, we will make every effort to notify you via e-mail and telephone. You may also call the event hotline for updates at 410-467-3600. If the event must be postponed, please note that all meeting times and locations will remain the same for Sunday. IT’S NOT TOO LATE!! If you know someone who may be interested in participating in this event, please encourage them to register online today! We do have space available and are still accepting registrations. Also keep in mind that the car show is open and FREE to the public so we encourage spectators to come out and enjoy the show! Are you fundraising? We have some folks really working hard out there! Thank you for all that you are doing to raise much needed funds to further the research, support and education of older adults with cancer. I will send emails Friday afternoon updating you on your total funds received from online sponsors/donors. Please note that the cut-off for online donations to qualify for a prize is Thursday at 12 noon. Need to pay? I received a voicemail this morning inquiring about how to pay online. Unfortunately the message did not include a contact name or telephone number, so I could not return the call. If you need to pay for your registration you may do so by credit card online at: https://www.drivingoutcancer.org/Reg...firmation.html. After processing your payment you will immediately receive a payment confirmation receipt from Paypal. I will also issue a donation receipt as soon as possible.
