The 2020 Dream Rally Pit Stop

With a heavy heart we have made the mindful decision to make 2020 a Pit Stop for the Okanagan Dream Rally allowing us to tune our engines and come back bigger and better than ever on August 1st 2021!

Since 2016 the Okanagan Dream Rally has been an annual event impacting and positively changing the lives of thousands of people each year. The Dream Rally Team is incredibly grateful for the on-going support of our sponsors, donors, drivers, dream rally families and unbelievable Okanagan community. Without you, everything we’ve created and the funds we’ve raised would not have been possible.

In just 4 years the Okanagan Dream Rally has raised over $1.6 million dollars for local charities including: The Ronald McDonald House BC/Yukon, JoeAnna’s House, Autism Okanagan, COHA, and KidSport Kelowna.

Our goal for 2021 is to raise 1 million dollars and we ask you to join us in making this possible. If you would like to pledge your participation in the Okanagan Dream Rally for 2021 please click the button below!

All 2020 driver registrations, sponsorships, and donations will be automatically applied to the 2021 Okanagan Dream Rally. If you would like a refund please contact [email protected] for details.

See you in 2021!

About The Rally

Why We Do What We Do.

THE OKANAGAN DREAM RALLY

The Okanagan Dream Rally is a very special charity event taking place in Kelowna, BC that is committed to helping children and youth in need while raising money for charity. The children involved in the rally are our “Co-pilots” which are thoughtfully paired up with their Dream Rally drivers to enjoy this special day together in the passenger seat in one of over 200 incredible participating dream cars.

With the Okanagan Dream Rally, we hope to provide special children and their families with an incredibly fun-filled experience of being in the co-pilot seat of a dream car for a day that will create memories to last a lifetime. In addition, providing opportunities for our community, public figures, and businesses to support a good cause and make a difference locally in their community.

Our mission with the Okanagan Dream Rally is simple. We want to put a smile on the face of a child in need and provide them with a day that they will never forget. With the help of incredible drivers, sponsors, and those donating towards this event, we are able to raise funds for causes that have a profound impact in our community.

EVENT BRIEF
Participating children of the Okanagan Dream Rally will have their very own high-end rally car and driver for a day. The community and its spectators will participate in the street excitement while the most incredible supercars and sports cars from throughout Western Canada and the US start their engines in downtown Kelowna and circuit through the beautiful parts of the Okanagan Valley including Peachland and Penticton for an experience of a lifetime.

“

“Life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, let’s show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile. We are only on the earth a short time,
help give a thousand smiles to a child that needs it.”

THE OKANAGAN DREAM RALLY
The Okanagan Dream Rally is one of Kelowna’s most celebrated children’s charity events consisting of over 200 exotic, sports, and luxury cars. The children involved in the rally are our “Co-pilots”. While an application process is available for Co-pilot selection, many of our past recipients have been hand-picked by the non-profit organizations we support. As the date of the Rally approaches, Co-pilots and Drivers are thoughtfully paired up to enjoy this day together.

Who We Support

RMC-BC-Yukon Okanagan Dream Rally - August Family Foundation

Over the course of the next three years (2018-2020) we are committed to helping Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon raise $500,000 to help families staying within the organization’s facilities receive the care they need.

In 2018 alone, over 30% of the families staying at the facility located in Vancouver were from the Okanagan Valley. This really struck home with us and was a motivating factor in our decision to make this commitment.

Thanks to the incredible support at the 2018 & 2019 Dream Rally we have been able to raise $1,241,000 in the past 2 years alone!
