Exclamation Illuminations Cancer Charity Convoy

A thread started on Passionford about cancer and how it affects people has escalated into us all wanting to do something, my fella came up with an idea and had a very good response, basically its as follows:

So, we are going to arrange a convoy through the illuminations in Blackpool for charity, every car pays a minimum of £5 or more if they wish to do so.

He is going to contact his uncle who runs a local graphics company and get him to make up stickers which are going to say "Illuminations Convoy For Cancer" (if anyone has any ideas they are more than welcome to add as this whole thing is going to take a lot of organising)

We need to arrange a date for this, we were going to suggest the top gear switch on but its the 29th august which unfortunately is a friday, and also coming up fast so we’re thinking more towards september/october areas (again ideas welcome)

We need to discuss which charity/charities we are going to donate the money to so we can contact the charity/charities and get official labels and guarantees so that the public know we are genuine and not just messing about for profit, aswell as this i believe that charities send you money pots for the money to go into so if everything looks legit we have more chance of raising more money.

Are there any members on the forum that are or know anybody that works at a car magazine place because coverage of this would be quite helpful aswell as advertising to get more people on board.

We’re going to contact the local Blackpool paper aswell to see if they are interested in this too.

We are going to go to the main police station and clear it with them once we have a date, done this before and last time managed to get a police escort so hopefully they'll help again.

Sorry for the essay and thanks for taking the time to read it, if you do have any ideas as to any aspect of this and think you can help the please dont hesitate to post in here;
