Heart For Hearth 2013 - Set a Record, Win a Car! - September 22, 2013

[S.F.W.]

Last September, Torontomazda3 members and friends came together for an Epic Photo Shoot in support of Hearth Place.
The result was the epic picture below, and almost $10,000 raised for Hearth Place.



By popular demand, this September, Torontomazda3 is coming back to the Oshawa Municipal Airport for Heart For Hearth 2013. This year we have really big plans, and we hope you will join us.

On Sunday September 22nd, 2013 TorontoMazda3 (TM3) will host the largest gathering of Mazda 3's ever! We will be attempting to set a Guinness Record with 800 Mazda 3's participating in a parade lap and photoshoot. The event will take place on the runways of the Oshawa Municipal Airport and will run in conjunction with the 5K On The Runway event, with both events raising funds to support the Hearth Place Cancer Care Centre in Oshawa. TM3 aims to raise over $20,000 in donations, including a $5000 donation from Mazda Canada.

Need more incentive to attend? How about a chance to win a three year lease on a 2014 Mazda 3?

Each car in attendance will receive a raffle ticket. At the end of the event, we will draw a ticket and one lucky attendee will win a three year lease on a 2014 Mazda 3!

We will also be hosting a separate raffle with tickets sold to raise money for Hearth Place. Prizes for this raffle will be announced at a later date.

questions/feedback ?

Question.
Where are we getting 800 Mazda 3's from? We couldn't get 300 last year.

Question.

Multi part answer.
1)Hoping that people see we were able to pull off last years event smoothly, will encourage more people to attend. We had a lot of people register, and not attend. We also had a lot of people say they were going to register, or have friends/family register but did not get those people to register.

2) We are giving away a three year lease on a 2014 Mazda 3. That should certainly provide some additional incentive to register/attend.
3) We are trying to set a Guinness Record(need 684 Mazda 3's). The chance to be part of the record should certainly provide some additional incentive to register/attend.
4) Mazda Canada - Will be putting it on Mazda.ca, Facebook, twitter, Zoom Zoom ezine. Additionally every dealer in Ontario, Quebec, and North East US will be promoting the event via posters, and email campaigns.
5) Additional marketing on our side. Now that we have done this before, we can spend more time promoting the event. We will have more post card flyers, more posters, more emails, etc.

was going to ask that.



Im not registering just yet but will register as the deadline comes closer and I am sure I can make it that day.

Also Perhaps we can get some flyers printed and put on Mazda 3s all over the GTA???
I am pretty sure alot of people might be willing to come along tm3 and non tm3 people alike if a world record is involved.


can the runway even fit 800 cars?



Also I was just gonna post about the recent thing with the miatas and how we should try and beat them in a new thread

Waiting for some 2014 Mazda 3 images from Mazda Canada. Once we have that, plan is to print 2000 postcard flyers to distribute. Also posters for every dealer.

wouldnt they have to unveil the car to the general public first though? From what I can gather the 2014 one is planned to unveil at Franfurt in September. Or is the 2014 one not the long awaited redesign. This is confusing.

2014 is a full redesign. We will have pictures, maybe not full images, but enough for our graphics "soon"
We are also hoping to secure a 2014 Mazda 3 to show case at the event.

It would be cool if they just did the global unveiling at this event like some higher end car manufacturers do at other events that are not auto shows.

Nice... Last year I've registered & paid, but couldn't make it to the even due to urgent problem...

Hopefully I can this year!

Hopefully, you can both make it. We need every active/semi active/occasional visitor to attend. We need you to tell friends, neighbors, family, random people at gas stations, anyone that drives a 3, we NEED them to attend.
Your sisters, BF's, cousin drives a 3 ? Awesome, get them to register and attend.

I've messaged my friend, but if it's the same weekend as CSCS he might skip out. I'll try though.

The message I would deliver is simple. CSCS is an ongoing series, with multiple events a year. Heart For Hearth is an opportunity to be part of a Guiness Record. Also, you will have a 1/800 chance of winnign a 3 year lease on a 2014 Mazda 3.

Yep. Will def go if I have no family issues. I may have to go to the US around that time but I THINK it's in October. Will know for sure tonight.

not to mention that its all for a good cause



also I am actually willing to go around and put flyers under people's wipers wherever I go. residential areas may be a bit trickier because I dont see anyone doing that kind of stuff in a residential area.
