We take a look at fundraising event announcements from across North America.
- Gran Prix Fundraiser
Burlingame, California
-
Please join us Thursday, May 01, 2008, from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM at Go Kart Racer, for a turbocharged evening, as drivers compete and kids win. This very special event draws an elite gathering of "Who’s Who" from venture capital, banking, and high-tech industries, for a night of competitive racing (and some cooperative mingling).
When the flag drops, sponsored teams will be running flat-out around the course. There might be some pushing and shoving, and maybe even some blocking, as drivers have a shoot out, and race till to the end for victory.
As spectators enjoy the thrill of the race, they'll also be making laps around the OPEN BAR, pit stops for delicious food provided by Union Street Catering, and placing their bets (for big prizes) on who they think is going to be the next Wonder Boy.
In addition to the Main Event, we are thrilled to announce that Johannes van Overbeek, professional Porsche driver from Flying Lizard Motorsports, will also be on the track to go head-to-head against a select group of sponsored cars. Don't miss the opportunity to see one of the world's most successful Porsche drivers in action! Flying Lizard Motorsports
Spectator tickets are $75.
About The BizWorld Foundation

Just like an episode of Antiques Roadshow, our professional appraisers will reveal the origins of your mystery object. Is it a priceless treasure? Fake? Or forgery? Part of a valuable collection? Check the attic, clean-out the garage, look under the bed and bring in your collectibles and heirlooms for appraisal. Learn about the time periods your collectibles were made and how they were used. This is an opportunity for the whole family to learn about history, heritage and the value of collecting. April 13, 2008 11:00 am - 3:00 pm (Sunday). The Gloria E. McClellan Senior Center
Brengle Terrace Park, 1400 Vale Terrace in Vista.
ART
While you wait for your appraisal appointment, visit art vendors featuring hand-painted silk scarves, gourd art, decorative painting and other hand-made crafts.
FOOD
Plan to linger and have a bite to eat! The fair will feature a variety of gourmet edibles for sale.
APPRAISALS
Certified antique appraisers will be available for a consultation at $10 per item. Limit 3 items per person. Proceeds for all appraisals will benefit the historic Rancho Buena Vista Adobe.
