Be on the look out on the roads of North America for our friend Dany "Toto" Chretien at the wheel of his Volvo hauling the Quebec Convoy trailer.Being an XM subscriber, I often listen to “Livraison Spéciale” with Jacques Plante on 172. Jacques had the idea to participate with the “Adopt a Trucker” program helped by his listeners. We appreciate the effort for the cause because he brought in with him Jean-François Plante from Radio XTRM in the afternoon show.
This gave me an idea!
With the theme “Take up The Challenge”, I ask to all other radio hosts, at XM, on traditional radio or TV to do the same. This would also meet our other theme, “United in a same Cause”.
You will find shortly on the blog links to the different hosts that will follow their lead.
Knowing that we all have our hard times, it’s not easy for everybody to come up with the registration fee for the truck. It’s the reason why there is the “Adopt a Trucker” program. This is a way a participant can ease on the cost and have the possibility to bring in even more.
How?
Real easy! Just download the registration form on the web site of the convoy, send us an email to get it, by phone or good old snail mail to get the packet and look at page 3. This is the page that allows you to collect funds at family functions, soft-ball games, among customers, friends in other words, whoever you know. You can assure these generous sponsors that Special Olympics Quebec will issue them a receipt for their donation. Special Olympics Quebec is a registered non-profit organisation.
In return you will get, if you are a top three to collect funds this way:
A choice of position in the convoy accordingly to the amount collected
Your name in future adds and promotions of the convoy
A good feeling from making a difference for someone
