Youth Suicide Charity Fundraising Weekend

[PHaT MR30]

Hi guys, been so busy i forgot to post this up on SAU.

ANYWAY

January is a big month so starting on the 6th there is going to be a big weekend of things happening.

As some of you may have heard on NS.com a young fella commited suicide earlier in the year (South Australian). His parents Mark and Julie, thought it would be better to get youth suicide awareness out there rather sitting at home grieving.

They are going to be here for a week to promote the awareness of youth suicide and 'rattle the tin' for a local charity, which they chose to be Parakaleo www.parakaleo.org.au

since ben owned an S13 and was a drifter it was decided in his honour to do it in an import style weekend. They have since bought and modded an R32.

6th Friday- Devonport Mall: information session about youth suicide awareness/prevention, accepting donations + a few cars on display (no doubt some of you will have seen RIP Dr1ft_Pig_13 stickers on a few imports).

7th Saturday- meet at High Tide (cove) 10/10:30 for registration of the cruise, $10 donation gets you a cruise pack and a ribbon signifying your on the cruise. Cruise departing 11:30/12pm (being flagged off by a council member).

Travel to sheffield where there will be a first meeting point, a BBQ and some fund raising opportunities (Parakaleo is located nearby).

The cruise will then travel to ETC in Elizabeth town for a regroup point and opportunity to use bathroom facilitys etc, at the current stage there is no further re-group point between here and launceston but that may change (will be in the cruise pack no doubt).

Finish the day meeting in Bathurst St Car Park estimated time of 5pm.

7:30pm there will be a video/information night at Speedy Tyres, Bathurst St Launceston.

8th Sunday- Meet 9/9:30 Bathurst St Car Park, to leave by 10/10:30, only stops on the way are Cambell town. Next meet up point will be at Rosny College, HOBART around 12:30pm.

The cruise will then make its way down eagle hawkneck to Port Arthur (exact route i am not sure, i have left this in the capable hands of locals EG Toffy).

9th Monday- There will be something pending approval of hobart council in the mall or on the corner where CBA is similar to what was in Devonport on the friday.

10th Tuesday- Same but in Launceston, and this has been confirmed already.

alot of preparation has gone towards this so i hope all can attend, a much larger official flyer will go up in the next few days.

This is a chance to have Import cars seen in 'a good light' so do your bit for charity, promote youth suicide prevention/awareness, and been seen as a caring youth and import enthusaist.
