The Smoking Tire will be returning to Rally North America this year, as you may remember our Anthony Bourdain-esque video coverage from last year’s event, behind the wheel of a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT!
Unlike other rallies, where the “charity” aspect is just enough that you can make some kind of excuse to the cops when you get pulled over, Rally North America is about charity first, good people second, good roads third, and speeding comes at a distant tenth or so. That’s why we like it.
Last year, Rally North America was able to raise over $110,000 for the Accelerated Cure Project, and it is the responsibility of each team to raise as much as possible for Rally North America’s chosen charity. Not only is it good to give, but those teams who give the most are given preferential treatment and starting position along the way on the rally. It’s a good way of doing things really.
For the first time, The Smoking Tire has set up our own donations page, and with an audience of our size, we should be able to raise a lot of money for this year’s charity, Hope for the Warriors. You can read all about them here, but the short version is that they greatly assist returning soldiers with re-assimilating to normal, productive, non-warring life. It’s a wonderful organization that needs all our help. Anything you can share helps, even as little as $1.
I’ve gotten the ball rolling with a $400 donation, and if I can do it, so can you. It’s easy, it’s fast, and it’s for a very good cause. Support The Smoking Tire’s fundraising efforts on Rally North America to give as much as we can to Hope for the Warriors!
