MotorsportReg.com - Audi Club NA - Golden Gate Chapter announces Best Buddies - Hearst Castle (Support) (Thu 9 - Sun 12 Sep, 2010) info at Monterey Coast, Monterey, CA 93940 (3962)

Join the Audi Club as we show support for Best Buddies, a charity dedicated to helping those with intellectual disabilities be more productive, and better assimilate with their peers and those around them.  We encourage all of our members to support the work that our chapter is doing with Best Buddies by registering to help us make this event a success by filling the many volunteer roles assigned to our club.

Audi Club's Commitment to charity
Once each year, our chapter selects a worthwhile charity that could benefit from our financial support.  For fiscal year 2009 & 2010, ACGG has selected Best Buddies as the charity that will be the recipient of our financial donation.  We look forward to many more years of working with Best Buddies to widen their umbrella of philanthropic support.  More details about Best Buddies can be found here.

Details of this event
We're looking for our members to support us in one of two different ways.  First, you can choose to participate in this event as a rider, or walker.  Riders and Walkers receive the club's help with the solicitation of donations for Best Buddies.  Each rider or walker must secure a minimum of $1350 in donations, and our club will provide as much support as possible to help each rider/walker to achieve their goal. 
If you're not a rider or a walker, then we ask that you help Best Buddies by volunteering for one of the various driving or administrative roles that are needed in order to make an event like this successful.  These roles include

1. Volunteer Guide Driver
2. Friendship Fleet Driver
3. Check-in Desk / Parking / Bike Rental

More details about these roles can be found on the ACGG Website by clicking here.

Our Goal
The Golden Gate Audi Club is looking to staff this event with as many as 50 volunteers to help Best Buddies succeed in making this a safe and fun event.  This year we are also partnering with the SOCAL chapter of the Audi Club with the hopes that we can significantly increase our charitable donation.  Last year, our chapter donated $4500 to Best Buddies, and we filled about 30 volunteer roles.  This year, our goal is to triple this donation amount, raising $13,500 in donations.

In order to volunteer to help at this event, it is not required that you donate to the charity, but we do ask that everyone that registers does what they can to help this worthy charity.  We've made it easy for you to volunteer; Just select the number of $25 donations that you would like to give to Best Buddies, and we'll donate it to Best Buddies on your behalf.  We'll also provide you with a receipt so that your donation is deductible.

Volunteers

If you would like to be a volunteer for this year's event, you'll need to register on our website, so that we know about you, and can provide you as much information as possible along the way, and also so that we can act on your behalf, and use our resources to ensure that you get chosen for the role that you volunteer for.  Once your registered on our site, you'll also need to register on the Best Buddies site (click here to register).
