Drive for the Kids

The second annual Rocky Mountain Region Porsche Club tour to benefit The Children’s Hospital Sports Program for Children with Physical Disabilities will be held on Saturday, August 23, 2008. This tour is open to all makes and models of vehicles, not just sports cars, and membership in the Porsche Club is not a requirement for entry. As designed by our Tour Masters, Lee Sammons and Andy Forberg, this will be a fun, social and non-competitive driving event through the central part of our beautiful Colorado mountains with great starting and ending locations.

This Rocky Mountain Region/Porsche Club of America tour is being hosted by the Denver Round Table to benefit The Children’s Hospital Sports Program (TCHSP). The Denver Round Table is a service club dedicated to assisting youth and the handicapped in Colorado. TCHSP participants have disabilities ranging from such conditions as amputations, spinal cord or brain injury to long-term illnesses and conditions like cerebral palsy, cancer and spina bifida. TCHSP is one of many such programs across the nation; however, when it began in 1968 it was the first and only ski program for children with disabilities. For many of these kids, it is their first opportunity to move fast enough to feel the wind in their hair, and have the freedom of speed and control that we all take for granted in our every day lives. That freedom translates to self-confidence, self-esteem, and all the other “self” words critical to their best possible future.

Although the ski program is the largest organized activity, TCHSP has offered year-round involvement in leisure pursuits such as golf, fishing, sailing, rafting and tennis. With these summer and winter programs, over 100 children and their families are able to enjoy these unique opportunities each year.

The driving part of the tour will end at the Vail Cascade Resort and Spa, which is a AAA Four- Diamond resort. Dinner, wine tasting, and a silent auction will take place at the Resort Saturday evening. Although a room at the resort is not included in the registration fee, a discounted rate of $159/night, including indoor reserved parking, is available for both Saturday and Sunday nights. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity so you can enjoy a very relaxed weekend of fun activities while supporting a very special group of our kids. You may register at the Resort by calling 800-420-2424 or by email at vcr-groupres@destinationhotels.com. Identify yourself as being a part of the Denver Round Table-Porsche Club Car Tour when registering to receive the discounted rate.

Located within the Resort is the premier Colorado luxury spa, Aria Spa & Club, which offers you a sanctuary for achieving total wellness. The 10,000-square-foot luxury spa provides exhilarating body and skin treatments that will take you on a relaxing and rejuvenating personal journey. In addition, there is an extensive array of cardio and weight-training equipment, an indoor track, indoor basketball court, indoor tennis courts, heated outdoor swimming pool and hot tubs; Aria Spa & Club takes fitness to the ultimate level. Or, if you just want to have a lazy visit in a four diamond resort, this is the time.

This tour is open to all makes and models of vehicles, not just sports cars, and membership in the Porsche Club is not a requirement for entry, just your interest in assisting a very special group of kids.
