Imagine
the ultimate road-trip… let your imagination run wild… hundreds
of people driving across the country, twenty-four days and nights jam-packed
with concerts, parties, celebrity appearances, cash prizes, children's
events, car and fashion shows, plus more! Four months of excitement
building in a destination city near you with local contests and participation.
National and international attention and coverage enhancing the visibility
of advertisers, sponsors, environmental concerns and children’s
educational charities. Now you can help bring your magical imagination
to life by participating in the event of the millennium.
Introducing
the 2007 Rama Road Rally, a children’s educational charity event
unlike no other. From August 11th until Sept. 3rd 2007, the Rama Road
Rally will have 150 drivers making their way across the country in all
forms of transportation imaginable, from sports cars, kit cars and grocery
getters, to the latest in fuel efficient technologically advanced vehicles.
This Rally is open to any legal driver wishing to participate in a piece
of history. You could actually win the once in a lifetime opportunity
to compete against professional racecar drivers and celebrities! But
most importantly, it is our goal to raise millions of dollars to help
our nation's children and the environment.
We
will have a unique battle of the bands contest, pitting two newly signed
bands against the best band of each host city .Our bikini contest begins
on-line at www.ramaroadrally.net and culminates in each of the destination
cities we are traveling to. We are offering various types of prizes
and academic scholarships to gifted young artists and students. One
of our main events will be a NASCAR Pit Crew Competition with the winner
receiving a one-year contract with a top NASCAR RACE TEAM. A Reality
Television Series will document the daily Rally highlights, events/competitions
and will cover the Pit Crew Contest from inception to the dramatic televised
final.
The
Rama Road Rally and Motor Sports Safety Technologies have teamed up
with Deese Racing Enterprises to bring you the official Race Team of
the Rally, “Team Safety” the next level of excitement in
Motor Sports. The Rama Road Rally Racing Team will be debuting in the
NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Racing Series, to promote the up-coming Rama Road
Rally this summer.
The
Rama Road Rally has set up the Rama Disbursement Fund to benefit charities
nationwide. The Rama Disbursement Fund is a 501c3 and 509a1 that has
been established through the National Heritage Foundation to disburse
the Rallies designated funds to all of the charities that will be involved.
The Rally provides an opportunity for charities to promote awareness
of their respective causes, disseminate information, and educate the
public as to how they can help change the way people view our environment
and education. Donations will be generated from advertising, sponsorships,
concert tickets sales, merchandising, prize monies, and more.
The
Rally will begin in Philadelphia, PA and end in San Francisco, CA, with
19 other destination cities in between. Driving time for each leg of
the Rally ranges from 5 to 9 hours. Drivers will get a daily destination
with an address of a hotel or venue in each city at the beginning of
each day. They will then choose the best route by their own means (maps,
GPS, etc.) Friendly competition, sportsmanship and original thinking
are encouraged. Each leg of the Rally is a "mini-race" in
itself, with prizes given to the top three drivers at the end of the
day.
The
finale will be on the USS Hornet, the Aircraft Carrier that picked up
Apollo 11 and 12 as they returned from the moon! Appearances by many
of the Apollo Astronauts will add to the educational value that the
entire event was designed for.
Daily
child-oriented programs will be held at each host city awaiting the
arrival of the Rama Road Rally Drivers and vehicles in the evening.
The children’s events will be coordinated within the scope and
purpose of the Rama Road Rally. A Children’s Village will be set
up near the Rama Road Rally finish line. The Village will be the staging
area for all of our educational focuses in the destination cities. The
winners of the local battle of the bands contests will perform at this
location with appearances by the Rama Road Rally Girls and the local
bikini contest winners.
Finally,
the Rama Road Rally Celebrity Golf Tournament! This tournament is being
held as the first major event of the Rally (other than NASCAR) to publicize
the event and to introduce the world to our visionary sponsors. The
initiation of the pre-Rally buzz will be in full swing at this function,
with NASCAR personalities included in the mix, giving our sponsors added
exposure and endorsement-by-association to the individuals participating
in the Tournament/Rally. At the same time we will generate additional
donations for the Rama Disbursement Fund.
Many
PGA players have been contacted by our associate and PGA Legend Lennie
Clements, and will commit to joining the Rama Road Rally Celebrity Golf
Tournament provided that their schedules permit.
We
invite everyone, young, old, single, married, and kids of all ages to
join us in an event that will not only help our nations children, but
one that would become a memorable and monumental historical endeavor.
