Tulip Hearts Day

[voyager]

posting this on behalf of EuroVanClub (which i don't belong to, but came across this charity event through Volvo)

maybe some of the berlingo owners here are already aware of the event, sorry for cross-posting :-)

*************************************

Tulip Hearts Day is <http://www.ccf.org.sg/ > Children's Cancer Foundation's annual fund-raising Event to be held on 3rd September 2006.

In true <http://www.ccf.org.sg/thd/ > Tulip Hearts Day tradition, volunteers will be out in unity island wide, raising funds through the sales of more than 100,000 handmade tulips to create awareness of childhood cancer. To help raise further awareness among the public, and in the absence of major sponsors towards CCF, EuroVanClub will be organising our THD2006 Drive-Thru for the 3rd year running.

And in true <http://www.eurovanclub.com/ > EuroVanClub (EVC) tradition, we will be adopting the Event for the 5th consecutive year - in an attempt to reach out to more kind-hearted donors. The purpose of the Drive-Thru is to make it more accessible to reach out to donors in the driving community whom might be driving past on the Event day and to have a permanent location for drivers to make their donation. We will have volunteers stationed at Kallang car park for the sales of the tulips. Our road marshals will be there to provide assistance for donors.

Silk cocooned tulips will be sold at $2 each to help raise fund CCF. There will be approximately 14 colours to choose from. An exhibition area will also be set up inside Take 5 Kopitiam (behind Kallang Mac) to help raise awareness on childhood cancer, "Boy Girl" hand phone strap cum bookmark at $5 each will also be sold at the counter next to the exhibition area.

We sincerely hope like-minded people who wish to make this year's Event a more successful one then the last, can set aside an hour of your precious time on that Sunday to make a trip down to Kallang. Purchase the tulips from our volunteers, making it ours, and your day a truly fruitful and eventful day out of 365.

See you there!

Thanks Ken for posting the message.
I was involved in the first event 5 years back & find that it was a very meaningful. What say you guys that we meetup that day to show our support for the charity?

Gain some visibility for us also ;)

[peterlee]

I'm ok to go as well.

Maybe our resident EVC spokesman Furry can shed more light on what is being planned as well... ::)

[voyager]

the EVC faq section very detailed :-) i had a look :-)

i think it's a very very good idea to go in convoy. only thing, for me, morning got church. can only make it in afternoon. (according to the faq, it's from 10 am to 5 pm, i think).

but if majority of you guys can make it in morning, then you all go ahead :-)

[lrrp77]

No prob Ken.

Cannot miss u out :) we'll wait for u. Ok guys?

really sorry to have to do this to all of you.

sincerely,

[peterlee]

Our condolences bro...

More important to attend to family. :)

[voyager]

thank you for your good wishes (including those of you who have messaged me) - i appreciate all your thoughtfulness and consideration :-)

[caddyJ]

EVC, on behalf of CCF and the kids, would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone from the SG Citroen Club who had turned up to support the EVent in one way or another. Without your generous donation and participation, this EVent wouldn't be a success because life is more than just receiving.

We'll provide a link to the photos once they are ready
Here is our thread where thank you notes are posted by everyone and anyone :
http://www.eurovanclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5426&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

The above is an official note.

On a personal basis, it was a great feeling to see so many of you guys turning up and supported our event. Being the initiator of mixing charity with an automotive club 5 years ago, this year I am pretty satisfied that the objective of creating awareness had reached another level that I will never have imagined when I kickstarted it. My sincere appreciation.

Just an update : We have an average count of 650 vehicles which means BHP Auto will donate S$2500 for hitting the 500 vehicles mark. As for the total sales of tulips, mini Tees and handphone strap we have yet to receive the figures. I will definitely fill you guys in when CCF inform us.

Thanks and best regards,
Joseph aka CaddyJ
Vice Chairman
EuroVanClub Team
THD Drive-Thru Organising Committee

[caddyJ]

You guys might have wander how much did we all manage to gather through the whole EVent.
The final count for donation by EVC is $14,936.95.
Kallang Drive Through Donation has collected $10,650,
EVC street sales volunteers has collected $1,786.95 &
$2,500.00 is being sponsored by BHP Auto.

[lrrp77]

Joe,

Congrats to you & your team for this successful event & the fantastic turnout :)

It was for a good cause.
