Updates on The PEACE Fund

[Victoria]

A lot has been happening with PEACE. The Ricework's Campaign has now finished and we are waiting on the results, which will be announced in a few days time.

The next event has started and what an exciting one it is. It is called "Along The Silk Road" and it is a convoy of six classic MG's traveling the Silk Road from Beijing to London.

We have information up on where the money raised for the Haiti Tragedy has been used to support a great new charity "Mercy and Sharing".

You should check out the website as well to see the new changes to the design, it looks great.

Now head across and check out all the new updates and exciting happenings.

I think some people mistakenly thought the charity with the most votes would win the $20 grand, grand prize. There was no prize for the most votes, only the distinction of *People's Pick*. The charity that won the grand prize , AboutFace, only got 458 votes and PEACE got close to 2000. All the 33 finalists got $1000. The judges could only choose one charity to win the $20 grand and unfortunately it was not PEACE. :( But it was great that PEACE made the cut out of 2800 nominations! That is something to be very proud of!

As Tessa said the grand prize was given to a Canadian charity because Ricewoks is a Canadian company however it was a great honor for PEACE to be picked as one of the 33 out of 2800 charities and that was thanks to the judges being so impressed with Adrian :)
