Chomp Team Charity Drive 2009 - Sun, 13 Dec 09

[Guest blackie]

Greetings from Chomp Team.

Chomp Team will be organising our inaugural charity drive in Dec 09. After much consideration, we have chosen Club Rainbow Singapore as our beneficiary.

Club Rainbow is a registered charity committed to helping children suffering from a range of chronic and life-threatening illnesses.

The charity currently supports more than 470 children and their families.

The proposed charity drive will be in the form of a drive thru’ style, and will be held on Sun, 13 Dec 09 from 10am to 3pm, at Kallang Leisure Mall, Carpark G, Coach Shed.

As we are undertaking this event on our own, it will be a simple setup with just a few tables and chairs. No banner or stall will be set up for this purpose.

The objectve of the event is to urge members to drive-thru our area, purchase the Club Rainbow collar pins (at nett price ie $2 per piece) and handover of any donated items. Drivers could then continue with their pre-planned family Sunday outings thereafter.

Along with the pin purchases, we would also be giving Club Rainbow brochures to the drivers, in the aim to promote awareness of this charity organisation.

Club Rainbow have indicated that items in need are daily essentials as follows:

1) Canned food - eg sardines, diced fish, curry chicken, luncheon meat

2) Beverages - eg coffee, condensed milk

3) Cereals and biscuits

4) Milk powder

- Nespray 7+ / Full Cream (for children 7 years and above)

- Glucerna SR

- Pediasure (vanilla flavour)

- Enfalac A+ AR (anti-reflux)

5) Cooking oil, sugar, noodles

The donated items will be delivered to Club Rainbow by us on a separate date.

The sales of the collar pins would be at nett price and no profits made from it.

Kindly note that no cash donation will be collected during the charity drive. Any cash donations would be rejected and donors would be advised to contact CRS directly on this.

Chomp Team have pledged 100 collar pins in advance for this event. As this is an inaugural event by us, we are unable to anticipate the response. As such, we have only requested limited quantity of pins from Club Rainbow. In the event that response is overwhelmed with the selling out of the pins, we would like to seek the understanding and support of members to still dropby to deposit their donated items to us.

Please support us

We can be contacted at 98754323 (Rover) or email : [email protected] for any further clarification.

SGMERCians please support this charity drive!! Look out for event news with regards to a mini get together to deliver some much needed supplies on 13th December 2009 for the 470 families.

A reminder for those who wishes to donate essential items:

If you are attaching any well wishes card, pls be cautious in not indicating things like 'Get well soon', etc. These kids are having chronic illnesses and would not be able to recover from the sickness. We'll be giving these kids false impressions that they'll recover if they sees greetings like such.

Instead, we could only wish them to stay strong and be happy.

Thks for the understanding

Dear all,

It has been a great exposure so far working with all the car clubs to materalise this event. The event date is drawing near and we are getting favorable responses from various car clubs on the donations as well as turn-up.

Here are some administrative issues and flow of events for your information (esp useful for those who have not explored the coach bay before):

Location of Coach Bay:

Pls be reminded that the carpark G is not connected to the Coach Bay. The Coach Bay have it's own entry and exit point. Many who have not been to the Coach Bay would often drive round and round the carpark, trying to get into the Coach Bay from within the carpark. Instead, drivers would need to enter the Coach Bay via the bay's own entry point.

Sales Point:

Sales Point is solely for purchases of pins. The Sales Point (for the pins) will be located somewhere at the centre of the Bay (when u entered the Bay). For clubs with large convoy, u may wish to gather at the carpark G before splitting into smaller convoys to enter the Coach Bay, as we would not want to jam up the main road.

Donation Drop-off Point:

At the Sales Point, our guys will check with u whether there's any donation items. For those who have donation items, our guys will be there to direct u to the 'Donation Drop-off' Point (which is at the sheltered portion of the Bay, after making a u-turn within the Bay). After dropping off the items, u may wish to park ur cars back at the carpark G, and thereafter gather back at the 'Drop off' Point for a group photo-taking. Similarly for those without donation items, u may proceed directly to park ur car at the carpark G and proceed to meet ur fellow members at the 'Drop off' Point for phototaking. After the phototaking, we'll shift the donated items aside to our central depository point. Members may continue to mingle around or disperse thereafter.

Group Phototaking:

Kindly note that we are only taking group photos of members together with the donated items. Members are advised to park their cars at the carpark G to avoid conjestion at the Coach Bay.

Pls note that the pins are available for sales at 'First come First served' basis. In the event the pins are sold out, we appreciate members' understanding.

Once again, do note that we are doing this at a budgetary approach, thus there'll be no banners or stalls setup for this event. There'll just be a simple table and chairs at the Sales Point. Nonetheless, the Coach Bay is easily recognised when u reached the Kallang Leisure Mall, thus should not be a prob in recognising us.

We look forward for ur continue support and hope to see more members and items being donated within this last week before the actual event date.

On behalf of Club Rainbow Singapore, thanks in advance for all who had committed themselves to this event.

Cheers to all!

Dear all,

This is blackie post on behalf on Rover from Chomp Team.

It was great seeing all u guys today. Thks so much for the support and once again, on behalf of Club Rainbow Singapore, a very BIG THANK YOU to SGMERC for the commitments!

Being doing this for the first time, pls accept our sincere apologies for not being able to coordinate fairly well for the event and if we had caused any inconvenience to anyone, esp to anyone who had kena summoned by the warrant.

We'll definitely be back again next year and hope to once again to make history in having a mega car meetup cum charity drive thru'.

A quick interim update: We had received a total of 2 lorry loads of donation items and a sold-out of all 400 pins! Cheers to all for making this happen!

We'll post an update once we have delivered the items over to Club Rainbow. I'm sure tat the needy families will have a wonderful year end to 2009!:becky:
