A quick MINIsOnTop 2008 video

If you didn’t make it to the event, this’ll give you a flavour of what you missed … if you did make it, it’s a reminder :)

And the winner is …

MINIsOnTop 2008 is completed … a total of 215 raffle tickets for the Herb Chambers donated MINI Cooper Clubman lease were sold, and at the drawing at the base of Mount Washington, the winner was Jocelyn Dailey of Jersey City, NJ … congratulations :)

New Country MINI generously supported the Sundaes on Friday event both with ice cream sundaes, and a $6.288 donation for each of the sundae’ers, raising more then $1,000 for the MINIsOnTop 2008 charities of Make-A-Wish of New Hampshire, and the Mount Washinton Observatory.

A superb Red Sox package raised $900 in a rapid auction, and sales of $1 “door prize” tickets and other merchandise has brought the total raised for charities to an estimated $10,000 (final numbers in the next week)

MANY thanks to all our sponsors, all our attendees, and everyone that supported our event by purchasing raffle tickets!
