MINIsOnTop

Something I forgot to mention yesterday in the Spring Rally / Poker Run write-up … in addition to providing excellent fun & food for us, MINI of Peabody also raised $600 for the Jimmy Fund by collecting a minimum $20 donation and giving a Motoring Hearts grille badge as a thank you …

MINI Motoring Hearts

We also raised $600 for the Massachusetts Make-A-Wish foundation by selling more $25 MINIsOnTop raffle tickets, with help from Mary of Make-A-Wish; the MINI of Peabody donated JCW upgrade is most popular, having sold almost half the available tickets already – but the Herb Chambers MINI of Boston donated two year MINI Cooper lease is of more interest to people that don’t yet own a MINI …

I’m pleased to announce the second major raffle prize for MINIsOnTop 2006 – a two year lease of a MINI Cooper from Herb Chambers MINI of Boston:

To quote from Azi Parvez:
Herb Chambers MINI of Boston is thrilled to be donating a MINI Cooper to MINIs on Top for the second year in a row. This year, a 2-year lease of a 2006 Solar Red MINI Cooper will be given to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts. The winner of the lease will be chosen by a raffle drawing (conducted under the auspices of the MINIsOnTop organizers) to occur on June 17, 2006 at the MINIsOnTop event. The terms provide for a 24 month – 10,000 miles/year lease, and do not include insurance, tax, title, or license fees. The winner must execute and terminate the lease at the Herb Chambers MINI of Boston location.

A maximum of 250 tickets will be sold for this prize, at $25 each – or buy 5 tickets for $100.
The drawing will take place at MINIsOnTop this summer, June 17 2006.
All proceeds from the raffle will be donated to The Make-A-Wish foundation of Massachusetts, our chosen charity for 2006.
Tickets will be available for purchase at Herb Chambers MINI of Boston, or you can contact me.

You can see the full list of MINIsOnTop sponsors on this webpage.
Details of the other raffle prize, a John Cooper Works upgrade for a MINI Cooper S, can be found here.

Time once again to thank the generous sponsors of MINIsOnTop 2006!

Firstly, thanks to Concord Motorsport for the donation of a DINAN Strut Tower Brace.
Another local company, Bavarian Autosport, has donated two $50 gift certificates – thanks.

Thanks also to OutMotoring; they have sent a whole package of stuff to MINIsOnTop, including Tshirts, a MINI storage unit, and a pile of window decals.

Finally, a huge THANKS to SSG Precision Optronics; this company does not make MINI-related products, but employs MINI owners – they have sent a $250 check which will be included in the charity donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts later this year.

Remember also that MINIsOnTop is raffling a JCW upgrade, donated by MINI of Peabody – the sale of $25 tickets has raised almost $1000 already.

Next week we will be formally announcing a SECOND major raffle prize from Herb Chambers MINI of Boston similar to their huge donation last year – watch this space for more news, and contact me if you are interested in raffle tickets for either major MINIsOnTop prize.
