Catch The Supercars Guiness World Record Attempt - North Beach, Durban
It is not every day that the super-rich deploy their deliriously expensive and enviable supercars to ameliorate someone’s life and surpass world records while doing so.
IBV Supercar Club is committed to making a discernible impact by driving a Guinness World Record supercar parade event in Durban on 21 September 2014. The Supercar Club aims to break a Guinness World Record by raising R1 million through a charity parade of 200 supercars down North Beach. Each supercar owner will be accompanied by an orphaned child who will be gifted a lifetime escapade.
“We are calling all supercar owners to join us at 7am at the Pavillion Hotel for this ground-breaking event by donating their time and a gift of a ride in their supercar to an orphaned child” invites Marc Rosseau, Manager of IBV Supercar Club, a distinguished supercar club in SA.
There is a gauge of about 3.7 million orphans in South Africa. About 150 000 children are deduced to be living in child-headed households.
Nedbank released a report which divulges that nine out of ten of South Africa's high-net-worth individuals give away some of their money, time or goods. The report looked at individuals who earn more than R1.5-million a year or have R5-million worth of investible assets. South Africa has about 300 000 of these individuals.
“Corporate Social Investment is very important to us. We fully support IBV’s vision to host 200 orphaned and under privileged children. As corporates it is our responsibility to stabilize the social and economic environment and we will continue to make an effort to improve the living conditions of the communities in which we operate,” Akash Maharaj, Centre Manager at Gateway Theatre of Shopping.
All donations will be audited by Guinness World Records and Ernst & Young for all proceeds for the benefit of the following charities: IBV Children’s VIP Day, The Sunflower Fund, UNICEF and Child Welfare South Africa.
In the wise words of Nelson Mandela “Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice. Like Slavery and Apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.”
The parade will be escorted by Harley Davidson & Ducati Bikers, and led by a helicopter formation and special police escort.
