Default 2010 Jeepers For Charity & Show n' Shine

For nearly ten years TOJC has been putting on their March annual Show & Shine...

Last year, a new Jeep themed charity event was introduced with the intent on bringing together the Jeep communities surrounding Central Florida, united as comrades to support the lives of those affected by cancer!

... This year we build on that ...



Attendees can choose to participate in just the Free Show & Shine, the team themed Jeepers For Charity event, or BOTH!

For those interested in participating in the Jeepers For Charity part of the event, here is how it works:
Fundraising
* Raise as much as you can and present it at registration (http://www.orlandojeepclub.com/downl...ations2k10.pdf donation sheet)
* 100% of the proceeds go to benefit the American Cancer Society
* Make checks payable to the American Cancer Society

Teams
* Teams consist of 4 Jeeps per team
* Formed at registration
* Clubs can have unlimited amount of teams
* Do not have to be from same club
* If you do not already have a team of 4 organized prior to registration, we will place you on a team. This will be a great opportunity to meet new Jeep enthusiasts in your area

Event
* Drive as a caravan thru 4 scenic checkpoints circling Central Florida
* Timer starts when the first Jeep in caravan leaves starting line
* Timer stops when the last Jeep in caravan crosses line at the checkpoint
* At each checkpoint, teams go 'off the clock' to to test their Jeeping skills in a fun filled Jeep themed mini-challenge to earn bonus time deductions that will help improve their final score

Awards
* Event Winner (team)
* Most funds raised (individual)
* Club Participation
* ...and more...


***ATTENTION Club Coordinators/Presidents***
Last year, yours and the neighboring Jeep communities raised over $2500 for the American Cancer Society and had an awesome time doing it at the first ever JFC. We are VERY interested in your participation in this annual event that includes ALL Jeep clubs and forums! Please feel free to email Chris Casey (ChrisCasey@orlandoJeepClub.com) if you have any questions!!

Thank you all for supporting the 2010 Show N Shine and 2nd Annual Jeepers For Charity Event!

That day we took in $4,228.00 for the American Cancer Society. Adding the prior, 1st Annual event and that is a total of $6,728.00

As a reminder, if you did not get to donate yet and would still like to, the online donation deadline is for this calendar year extends all the way until August 31st 2010. You may donate at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jeepersforcharity

The event’s winners were as follows…

Highest Club Participation – Jacked Up Jeep Club
Participants Choice:

People’s Choice:
I am still hunting for a picture but it is was a gorgeous yellow Cherokee from Ocala Jeep Club. I believe his name was Ernie Prevedel (pardon the spelling) from Ocala Jeep Club.
Dealers Choice:

Highest Individual Donation – Terri Connelly (notably a cancer survivor!)

This year’s 1st and 2nd place winning teams have their performance on the finale course to thank for their victory!
Prior to the penalty assessment from the finale course standings were as follows:
34 - Team Odyssey 60.25
32 - Team Wizard 65.25
29 - Jacked Up Square 73.50
30 - Dirty Riders 79.25
31 - Team Extreme 90.25
28 - Jacked Up Round 99.00
35 - No Name Villains 118.00

…then they picked their best to drive the Jeep course, the penalties were assessed, and the final scores came out:
32 - Team Wizard 65.25 + 0 penalty = 65.25
30 - Dirty Riders 79.25 + 2 penalty = 79.25
34 - Team Odyssey 60.25 + 9 penalty = 83.25
29 - Jacked Up Square 73.50 + 20 penalty = 96.50
28 - Jacked Up Round 99.00 + 13 penalty = 99.00
31 - Team Extreme 90.25 + 32 penalty = 113.25
35 - No Name Villains 118.00 + 49 penalty = 118.00
