The Okanagan Dream Rally is racing through the Okanagan this weekend.
On July 30, rally cars will start in 麻豆精选 and make their way down to Penticton while raising money in collaboration with the August Family Foundation for the Ronald McDonald House of B.C. and Yukon and the KGH Foundation in support of building JoeAnna鈥檚 House.
Over 200 dream cars will be on display outside Prospera Place starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday for people to see before the drivers leave. Each driver will have a co-pilot that is an underprivileged child or youth.
Drivers will be leaving at 10 a.m., going down Water Street in both lanes, and will go down Lawrence Street and Abbott Street as they make their way to merge onto the bridge. Rally flags will be provided for fans to wave as the cars leave 麻豆精选.
There will be viewing areas in both Peachland and Summerland for fans to wave with rally flags as well. Peachland鈥檚 location is at Lambly Park and drivers are expected to be going past at 10:30 a.m. Many different viewing areas will be set up on the highway in Summerland for fans.
The drivers are expected to reach Penticton around 11 a.m. where they will be parking at the Barefoot Beach Resort for public viewing. At 1 p.m., drivers and their co-pilots will be making their way back to 麻豆精选.
Since this event began in 2016, more than $1.5-million has been raised. While being in the shop the last two years, the event鈥檚 goal is to raise $1 million this year alone.
Driver and co-pilot registration is still open. If you鈥檙e interested in joining, donating, have a silent auction prize, or for more information, click here.
