On October 18, 2001, one month after the September 11th attack, Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) launched The Porsche 50-State Drive For Hope in Honolulu. A Video Solution Hawaii was very pleased to cover this very first leg of the 50-State rallye, and also to provide all promotional video services on location throughout the island of Oahu prior to the Rallye. The event featured teams of drivers staged throughout all 50 states, driving 3 Porsche 911 Turbos. In New York, Bill Cosby drove one of the 3 Porsche 911 turbos on the last leg of the rallye. The record-setting challenge to benefit The Hope Foundation, one of the nation's leading cancer research organizations, was originally scheduled to begin Sept. 20 but was postponed due to the national tragedy on Sept. 11.
PCNA also announced it will donate twenty percent of all proceeds raised from the 2001 Porsche 50-State Drive for Hope to the New York Firefighters 9-11 Disaster Relief Fund, a disaster relief effort established by the International Association of Fire Fighters. The donation will go directly to the families of both the fallen New York fire fighters and EMS personnel. |
