Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) August 2, 2005 -- The Greater Toronto Area Mustang Club (GTAMC) is pleased to announce that Dave & Buster's Restaurant will provide the venue for the Second Annual GTAMC 9/11 Charity Road Rally. Dave and Buster's Restaurant has been a strong supporter of the event which, last year, raised more than twelve hundred dollars for the September 11, 2001 Childrens Fund, Inc. The event will run this year on Sunday, September 11, 2005.
The purpose of the charity is to change the life of children who lost a parent(s) or legal guardian due to the September 11, 2001 terrorist acts, by funding their continued education. They aim to mentor their Beneficiaries through primary and secondary schooling, as well as collegiate and post-graduate studies. The Fund also supports and encourages the use of internships, apprenticeships, work training and trade schools in order to achieve its mission.
On the fourth anniversary of an event that irreparably changed the lives of thousands of children, we will focus our efforts to ensure that these young victims are not forgotten." commented Fab Fiocco, President of the GTAMC. Now into our fifth year of operation, the club continues working with charity organizations at the request — the demand, really — of our members."
"Dave and Buster's Restaurant has been most gracious to continue their outstanding support of this event," added Fiocco. "Their participation and support goes well beyond self-interest and places them firmly in the excellent corporate citizen category."
Members of the GTAMC will pay voluntary admission fees to participate in the Road Rally event; however, the club is also looking for an event title sponsor and supporting companies to assist with expense reduction and the donation of goods for raffle or auction.
