I figured I'd start this one off early:

I'd like to propose a road rally on Labor Day (Sep. 8th) to benefit MDA. We would start in Hartford and travel through the state, some straight roads but mostly twisty little ones. We would stop at any activity centers that MDA is running, and eventually end up at the Mohegan Sun casino.

An alternate route would be to run backwards from Mohegan Sun to Hartford, since another club usually does the Hartford to Mohegan Sun route that day.

Each person would have to raise an entry fee-- we can have a flat fee or pledge collection (either individual pledges or a "by the mile" pledge). The advantage of the pledge collection would be incentives for top fundraisers (like goodies from Mini, if we can get them to donate).

A good goal for the event would be $1500, which would pretty much guarantee us a check presentation. Raising $3000 and we could probably get two (one in Hartford and one in Uncasville).

So, anybody interested? Ideas, ideas, ideas...
