This is "WHY" we all raised "Funds".
Thank you to the hundreds of sponsors, Production Team, over 400 Volunteers, hundreds of Reality Stars and participants in so many ways.
You all helped raise the funds for Michelle's Place Cancer Resource Center. Together we do make a difference in the lives of many with the funds we raised.
Thank you Michael Scalise of https://www.blacktie-productions.com/ for these and many videos over 12 years..
DirtRocket Photos is a proud sponsor of Temecula Valley's premier charity fundraising event - Reality Rally. We provide photography services throughout the weekend that capture everything from the emotional reactions from reality stars as they learn about Michelle's Place and its mission to the fun and excitement of Game Day as spirited teams race through the streets of Temecula's Old Town. It is our privilege and a sincere pleasure to be part of a great event that benefits such an important community resource as Michelle's Place. We look forward to seeing what Gillian does with the event every year.
Wow, my wife, Susan, and I am still coming off the high of Reality Rally 2016. We found Reality Rally way more than we ever expected and stand in awe of the dedication and effort of Gillian Larson and the entire Reality Rally team in organizing and presenting the Rally. Truly an amazing job, event and time! Thanks to everyone involved for their servant’s hearts and all you do for Michelle’s Place and Temecula as a whole.
On a personal note I have to say that our attendance at the Rally was just what the doctor ordered. In twelve years of ministry working with disadvantaged children in South Africa, we had never taken time away for ourselves and that was taking a tremendous toll on me mentally, emotionally and physically. As a huge fan of Survivor since episode 1 of season 1 I knew of Gillian (a native South African who competed in Survivor Gabon, Season 17) and her involvement in Reality Rally to support Michelle’s Place.
I decided attending the Rally was something I had to do for myself even if it meant travelling nearly half way around the world from South Africa to California to do so and asked Susan to join me. While not initially the most willing participant, she had such a wonderful time at the Rally and the following week that we stayed in the Temecula Valley that we both have committed to taking time away for ourselves on a regular basis now.
I was in charge of the Livestream for the race. It involved corralling the celebrities, corralling city officials, and doing a pre-race interview, trying to figure out what drew them to the event and if they had an experience with breast cancer or if they knew someone with breast cancer. It was really great to see that enthusiasm before the race, and they still had it when they came back through.
