A convoy of up to 300 hot rods will be making a four day drive from Vancouver into the interior on a journey that will also pass through Keremeos.
“Rolling Thunder Against Cancer is the name of the hot rod rally that begins August 10. The tour will go through Osoyoos, Kelowna and Kamloops, with stops in smaller communities along the way.
Participants can join the rally in Vancouver, Chilliwack, Osoyoos or Kelowna. Registration is $50.
The B.C. Cancer Foundation has enthusiastically endorsed Rolling Thunder Against Cancer and hopes the event will become a model for similar events across the province.
Funds will be raised through pledges for miles driven made by drivers and friends as well as from the general public attending the en-route stops and nightly shows.
The rally is fully supported by the BC Hot Rod Association (BCHRA) with a commitment to donate 100 per cent of funds raised to go to the Canadian Cancer Foundation.
