Thanks to our sponsors! You might think MINIs On Top is just about a gazillion small, quirky cars and their even quirkier owners getting together to kibitz and burn up dinosaur juice on the wonderfully twisty roads of New Hampshire around a very large pile of granite. But you’d be wrong. Yes, it’s those things, but it’s also about giving back, even just a little bit. From very early on in the history of MINIs On Top we’ve been donating to deserving charities with the help of the folks who attend. Through the sale of raffle tickets, personal donations, and now auctioning off the title of MINIs On Top Royalty, we raise considerable money. This year — and for the 4th year in a row — we’re honored to be making a donation to the Make-a-Wish Foundation® of New Hampshire, a fantastic organization that helps make the dreams of children with life-threatening medical conditions come true. We’re also donating 6.288% of the proceeds (in honor of the height of Mt. Washington) to the Mt. Washington Observatory to help support their world-renowned climate research.
While I’m sure we could just pass around a bucket that says “for a couple of good causes” and collect a substantial donation for these organizations, it’s always more fun if giving gets you a little in return, too. Once again, we’re proud to have individuals and companies supporting these causes through their generous contributions to the raffle. This list will likely change as last-minute donations come in, but here’s what we’ve got so far:

Hi,
My husband and I participated in the 2011 Minis on Top and I so enjoyed the POTATO SALAD that was served at dinner and I would love to have the recipe. Is there a chance of getting from the caterer????? It had a horseradish mayo base and had pea pods in it and it was delicious. Thanks!

Would like to thank Jim McDowell of MINI USA, all the individual sponsors for this years event, and a special thanks to those responsible for the organizational/prep work making this such a great time for everyone.
It was my first year attending on behalf of Inskip MINI of Warwick, and we had a wonderful time there.
Thanks again, and see you next year!
Dave
