Greetings
Supporters!
Red Fridays
Foundation of Canada is organizing a very special event. Our special event is
called 'Repatriation Memorial Drive and Rally'. This event is for
the honour of our fallen soldiers and a tribute to their families and all
supporters of our Canadian Troops. This special drive is the same
trip that a fallen soldier travels when he or she is repatriated to Canada. Our
plans are to organize a drive from Trenton Ontario to Toronto ON ending with a
special ceremony and rally.
The trip will begin near the Trenton
Canadian Forces Base. Cars, Motorcycles, busses etc are all
invited. Special participants will be selected with a red vehicle
to have a Canadian Flag attached to the window to lead the procession. There
will be 66 cars with the flags to represent each fallen soldier. 1000s of other
cars will join the procession from Trenton all bearing a Red Friday support the
Troop Car Flag or sticker. People from the area and from around the country will
be invited to watch from the overpasses of the highway 401 as the procession
proceeds with police escorts. Arrival in Toronto through a pre
selected route will be lined with spectators, emergency vehicles and other
supporters. A rally will follow at a named place to accommodate all participants
and supporters. A Military Tattoo will begin the ceremony followed
by a reading of the names of the fallen. Special guests will speak
at the rally raising awareness for continued support of our Canadian
Troops.
Here is how
you can help. The cost of organizing this event is expensive considering the
licensing costs, hiring of police and rental of public grounds. Other costs are
media advertising. A special web site called givemeaning.com is an
online fundraising site emphasizing creative fundraising ideas and other unique
forms of charity donation. Givemenaing.com has given
us the opportunity to become recipients of donations from their site towards
making the Repatriation Memorial Drive and Rally a reality.
In order for us to qualify, we need your vote. The
public can vote or not vote for this cause. If we achieve a set amount of votes,
givemeaning.com goes
forward and places our campaign and special event on their site to begin
receiving the kind donations from the public. I have spoken to the
president and he is excited about our special tribute; however, we need the
support of the public like you.
We are not asking for money from
you. We are asking you to decide if this event should go forward and place your
positive vote for Red Fridays Foundation of Canada at givemeaning.com.
You will be asked to use a valid email address to vote with in order to
validate a real vote from a real person. Your email address will be used for
this purpose only and will not be used for unsolicited email.
