Great idea!!!

Don't know about the other Audi clubs, but the Potomac-Chesapeake Chapter of ACCNA (aka, Quattro Club), holds two (Fall and Spring) day long Charity Fun Runs through the Shenandoah each year and holds a Charity Raffle at each of our Driver Events.  100% of the gross proceeds are donated to charity.  Last year, we raised over $2500 with donations going to Americares for their 9/11 Fund, the American Parkinsons Disease Association, and a college scholarship fund.  This year, we're on track to raise over $4500 from our various events.  So far, we raised over $1000 for the Cure for Lymphoma Foundation from our VIR Driver School.  Our next Fun Run is this coming Saturday and at this point have raised ~$700.
