May 7th- Charity Concours - Brier Creek Mall - Raleigh, NC
On Saturday, May 7th, 2011, Triangle Italians is helping the Hurricane Region Porsche Club host their annual Charity Concours to raise money for Duke Children’s Hospital.
Cars will start arriving at 8:00 AM to the parking area near the old Uno Pizzeria (Brier Creek Commons) off of US 70 and Brier Creek Parkway in Raleigh . Cars should be parked by 9:00 AM, when we will open the roped off area to the public for viewing the cars, till 12:00 PM.
There will be goodie bags, door prizes, trophies and a raffle. The big raffle item this year (for the 2nd year in a row) is a closed practice session this fall for the winner and a guest, with Coach K and the Duke men’s basketball team, followed by dinner and a question and answer session, with a signed basketball and various other souvenirs of the day.
The cost is $20.00 per car with all proceeds, less expenses, going to the Charity (the Hurricane Region Porsche Club does not make any money from this event).
For those who are not familiar with this event, please do not let the term “Concours” dissuade you from participating. This is basically a “shine-and-show” event, where the participants are the judges (that way you can guarantee your car gets at least one first place vote!). So please make plans now to join us on May 7th for a great morning with fellow car enthusiasts and a chance to help an extremely worthwhile charity.
For those in the Apex / Cary / Holly Springs area, we'll be meeting at Leith Volkswagon @ 7:30 to drive over to Brier Creek. See everyone in May!
Also, we are working to decide on a place for lunch afterwards…stay tuned for details. For those going to lunch, we may leave a little early...but we can finalize a time that morning.
