Some of our students have a dream and that dream is...To Go Fast! If you would take a minute to consider where you started and where you all have achieved. Along the way there were those willing to give advice or a helping hand. If you would be willing to give either, reach out to this group of students who are pursuing this on their own outside of school and trying to make it to the starting line! #RacingForLemons #LemonsOrBust #StudentRacingTeam #LemonDreamTeam #24hoursoflemons

Tasmanian greyhound racing clubs are deeply integrated into the local community, actively supporting a wide array of grassroots organisations and initiatives. In Hobart, the Greyhound Racing Club has embraced local sporting clubs by hosting sporting clubs challenge nights that benefit a variety of clubs across sports ranging from AFL to netball, offering both direct sponsorships and opportunities to win additional funding. Similarly, the Launceston Club enriches the community with race days tailored for aged care residents, creating memorable social experiences. Moreover, a collective initiative across Tasmanian clubs culminated in a generous $35,220 donation to the Ronald McDonald House Charity, significantly enhancing the support facilities for families of children undergoing medical treatments in Hobart. These initiatives underline the greyhound racing industry’s dedication to nurturing and giving back to the communities they operate in, reinforcing their role as key players in building and sustaining local community spirit.

A little 'inside baseball' for how a Rally North America event works. 80+ cars line up in a smallish town (think Erie, PA or Knoxville, TN) on a sunny weekday morning - come to think of it, I've never been on a starting grid where it was raining - listen to a rallying introduction from our organizers and that town's leadership, and then get in our cars, waiting for the coveted Clue Card for the day and the green flag. Local news crews recording as we take off, one by one. Pictured is one of those Clue Cards - this from our 2016 Big Sky Rally which ran from Billings, MT to Portland, OR. As you can see, each checkpoint is described with just a clue and an image. We have to figure out what it is, where it is, and how to get there more quickly than the other 79 cars' occupants. While respecting traffic laws, mind you; a ticket is an instant DQ. Our place in the starting grid is dictated by how much money we raise for the charity that year. In 2012, I secured pole position with approximately $3500 raised. By now, pole position requires more than $20,000 in donations. We are that serious about the cause. I'm usually good now for about $8,000 - though I'm behind in my efforts so far this year. Please help me out by hitting Like and, if you think the cause worthy, repost to your networks. All donations, large or small, are hugely appreciated and roundly celebrated. My goal for this week is to raise $250 through our donation page, which is linked below. All proceeds go directly to Camp Sunshine and you will receive a receipt for tax purposes. 🏕 ☀ This post is related to Rally North America's 2024 Sunshine Rally. As we do nearly every year, my wife and I are participating under the team name Slightly Lost. Our goal is to raise as much money for the chosen #charity as we possibly can; please help us make a difference for the kids at Camp Sunshine by contributing at our Team Page. Link in the Comments. For more information, or if you represent a business that would like to get exposure during the event, DM me. #fundraising #foragoodcause #rallynorthamerica #campsunshine #slightlylost661

UPDATE: NASCAR HAS EXTENDED THE GIVEATHON!!! GAINBRIDGE, one of the primary NASCAR GIVEATHON sponsors, had $77,000 left over that they wanted to give out so they convinced the NASCAR Foundation to extend the GIVEATHON. So, NOW OUR PAGE IS BACK ON the GREEN FLAG is waving, allowing us to receive additional donations! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? $77,000 in matching donations are available until Sunday, May 19 at 10am or until these funds are gone. All 350 participating non-profits are eligible for this matching opportunity. All donations that come in to our non-profit's donation page will be matched up to $500 per donation. While we were certainly blessed by the giving during the scheduled event, we can actually double the additional donations over the next few days which would be AMAZING. If you gave, THANK YOU! Please share this announcement with your network. If you didn't have the opportunity to give earlier this week, please consider joining the team. $10.00 given equals a $20.00 donation. $500 given equals a $1,000 gift. NOTE: If you are led to give more than $500, please break the donations up into $500 maximum gifts so that each will be matched by NASCAR. Because They Deserve Better. https://lnkd.in/e8HJ5uKx
