GOLD RUSH RALLY GOES GREEN!
Congrats to BABC OC board member, Simon Trumper, who is raising awareness to a great cause through Gold Rush Rally. Gold Rush Rally is going green by hosting its first carbon-neutral rally to raise funds for a great cause.

They will be sourcing enough carbon credits from Elephant Cooperation to offset all the carbon emitted by the event through 2030. These carbon credits come from Elephant Cooperation’s work in Zambia to reduce the destruction of Zambian forests, saving trees that absorb the carbon dioxide correlated with climate change, while maintaining critical habitat, vital to the lives of elephants, and help fund other Elephant Cooperation initiatives including ‘Elephants to the Rescue', a campaign that is currently providing food aid to Kenyan rural families suffering from a loss of income due to COVID19 impacts on tourism. 

"This is a really great way for us to enjoy our sport while reducing our carbon footprint and giving back" Simon remarked.

Simon has plans to introduce an exciting series of classic car events to the BABC community in 2021. Stay tuned!
