 ZZ Customs - charitable Fundraising

 The ZZ Motorsports team strongly believes in
 giving back to the community.  One way in
 which we are able to do so is by building
 vehicles for a specific charity to either
 auction off or sell raffle tickets for.

 By showing these custom built vehicles for a
 short period of time we are able to greatly
 improve the exposure the charity receives
 as well as potentially increase the amount
 the vehicle will raise for the charity.
 

Now Accepting Orders For 2011...

Due to the amount of work involved and the overall timeframe required to construct a custom vehicle, we are now accepting orders for vehicles to be completed in 2Q 2011.  These vehicles will be ready for the 2011 show season and fall/winter auctions.

 

How Does It Work?

In the case of fundraising, the process is quite simple.  First the charitable organization purchases a vehicle from us for a reduced rate.  The vehicle is then built to the charity's specifications.  The vehicle will be shown at various cruises and shows in the region over a predetermined number of months.  In most cases the vehicle is then sold at auction in the fall.  We stay involved throughout the process to ensure a smooth transition throughout the program.
 

How Does This Benefit My Charity?

The charitable organization will gain valuable exposure at each and every cruise/show this vehicle attends.  There is also an opportunity to accept donations throughout the show season.  The main goal of this program is to sell the vehicle.  It is not uncommon for these types of vehicles to sell for 150% of the invested amount or more depending upon the options chosen.
 

We Offer Various Programs For...

Non-Profit Organizations:

  • Various non-profit organizations can benefit from our programs.  Our programs are designed to benefit organizations who seek to increase their public exposre as well as increase fundraising opportunities.  There is no limit to type of organizations which can benefit from our programs.  We are able to customize a vehicle and exposure plan to compliment most fundraising goals.

Educational Institutions:

  • In many cases educational institutions can benefit from our services.  High Schools, Colleges, and Universities can certainly benefit from our services.  These types of institutions routinely hold events that would provide excellent exposure for a program such as ours.  We would be happy to discuss various options with you ranging from sealed bids and raffle tickets to a live auto auction.

Private Businesses:

  • It is not uncommon for a private business to donate it's time and money to a charitable organization.  In this case we are happy to work with the private sector to help gain exposure for their charity of choice as well as to maximize their donation potential by utilizing our fundraising programs.  In this case a private sector organization may purchase a custom vehicle at a reduced rate in order to sell it in the future and donate the proceeds accordingly.


This is simply a brief list of some types of organizations which we feel our programs can benefit.  If you would like to see what we can do for your organization, please contact us.

 

We Offer Various Fundraising Options...

Live Auto-Auction
Live auto-auctions take place throughout the year in various locations.  Depending on the timeframe and goals of the buyer, we develop an exposure and sale plan which will include an auction at a specified date.  In order to ensure a successful sale, we do set a reserve on all auction vehicles.  This allows us to ensure the vehicle will meet its intended fundrasing goals.  If a vehicle does not sell on the first attempt, we will continue to attend chosen auction dates in order to complete the sale, or pursue various other options to sell the vehicle. 


Sealed Bid
In certain cases a sealed bid otpion works best.  In the event that this vehicle will attend various events throughout the year where key alumni, docents, board members, etc... will be in attendance, a sealed bid can be a way to ensure a quick and easy sale.  A sealed bid option allows potential buyers to submit an offer in writing during a predetermined period in which the car is being displayed at various events.  At the end of this period, the highest bid will be accepted and the buyer notified.  We also encourage using a reserve option in this case.


Raffle Ticket Sales
Raffle Tickets sales is an exceptional option in certain cases.  If a charity has a number of workers, or in some cases students, this can be a great option.  We would be happy to help you evaluate the potential for this sales option.  This can be an effective tool when there is an extended period of time in which ticket sales may take place, as well as a dedicated or captive force that will complete those sales.  Please contact us to see if this option could work for you.


Buyer's Preference
In this case we are no longer involved in the sale of the vehicle.  We help the buyer to develop a plan of action once the exposure plan has been executed.  At that time the buyer will take over responsibility for the sale of the vehicle, or even decide to show it for another season.
