Hi,
I am a professional photographer and I am trying to organize and event to raise some money for a the only children’s hospice in the south west of England.
I am looking to get some owners of Super cars to drive to the hospice, to offer either paid rides in the car, or just photos with the cars. As well as maybe a ride for some of the terminally ill children at the hospice to brighten up their day!
This would also be a great PR /Press event for the charity.
In return for your kindness I would be happy to take a professional photograph of your car.
I also have plans for a charity calendar along the same lines with the super cars, to make a change from the usual naked rugby players (don't worry, you can keep your clothes on!).
If anyone can help can you please email me your details, and details of your car to.
info@evoke.org.uk The event will be near Barnstaple North Devon, most likely Late Sept or Oct TBC!
Thanks for reading!
Mark

Thank you everyone for your kind offers of support to this very worthwhile charity event. Not a confirmed date, but how does the 8th of November this year sound to everyone??

Hi all!
I hope you haven't lost interest in this idea! The guys at the hospice are taking a while to sort logistics and dates out. I have a meeting with them on the 14th of this month to tie down a date, I hope to move it to Sept / Oct when its hopefully a bit warmer.
Watch this space and thanks again for all your kind offers of help

Okay everyone here’s the deal!!

For the charity Childrens Hospice South West (www.chsw.org.uk) we need between 20-40 sports / super cars for 3 reasons.
On Saturday 4th of Oct 2008 we would like to gather these cars for a drive though the grounds of the hospice near Barnstaple in North Devon (EX31 2PZ) so that the children can see them, and those who are able to have a sit in and photo taken with the cars, also their parents and siblings.
Then the convoy will move on a couple of miles down the road and park up on Barnstaple town square, which will be quite a sight!
We are looking then to raise money in three ways. A ten-minute ride in one of the cars for a donation to the Hospice (prices to be agreed with car owners), a photo sat in the car of choice, and good old bucket shaking.
Ideally we would like the usual marques, Ferrari, Lambo, TVR, Noble, etc etc, and as many as poss.
It will also serve as a wonderful marketing opportunity for the hospice attracting TV, radio and press.
Also if any car related or relevant business would like to have a presence or dealer would like to bring some demo cars along I am sure we could work something out.
One last avenue of fund raising would be an auction of car related goods / services, so again if any of you good people have any ideas for this I would be most grateful.
I hope you agree it is a very worthy charity, and I do hope you will be able to help.
Thanks for reading this I hope you get your offers in soon.
Thanks
Mark
