Come Join us on the Bus!

The Mongol rally is ALL about raising money for Charity and my fellow team mates and I have been busy busy!

We’re excited to get our hands dirty for you!!

For a mere $15 you too can add “your” handprint onto the bus and travel with us!!

I am very blessed and grateful to SO many of my AMAZING friends and family who have donated so generously of their time, money, and most of all their support of me,  for  this adventure I am about to embark on. (check out the sponsors page on the team website to see your name!)

I am SO excited to say that I have a lot of catching up to do since the April fundraiser party in Charleston.  I have over 30 handprints to add to the bus!!!  I am gonna be a busy girl with those paints once I get to Dover – but NO WORRIES –  there is always room for more, so bring it on!!

The Offical Mongol Rally charity is:

Cool Earth.  They are an organization that is working tirelessly with local communities to save rainforests around the world.  According to their website: “So far 330,000 acres of rainforest that sit directly in the path of chainsaws and bulldozers have been saved.”

Team Dixie Chickens is also raising money for:

Lotus Children’s Centre, an orphanage in Mongolia that is a home and centre for development for around 100 vulnerable and special needs Mongolian children. (They were the official Rally charity last year)  Once we arrive at the finish line, we plan to stay in their guesthouse and volunteer at the orphanage for a few days.

And what would a school bus be without school supplies? Well, with thanks to my friend Dale, we will not have to find out.  Dale has generously donated a HUGE box of school supplies for us to hand out to the kids we meet along the way and for donating to the orphanage!! WHOO HOO!  (And via other amazing & generous folks, we’ve also got inflatable globes, sports equipment, & dental supplies!)

Lastly, one of my teammates, Sarita, a filmmaker, made this awesome video about “hands on the bus”  for her fundraising page – Armchair Adventurists
