Cash & Rocket, the all-female charity drive, returns for its 7th year, having raised $4.5 million since launch
Charity-led organisation, Cash & Rocket, is proud to announce an A-List line up for its 2019 European Tour; 4-day women-only road trip that will see 80 influential women “drive for change.” 40 red cars will drive from London to Paris, to Geneva and on to Monte Carlo in convoy from June 6th - June 10th. The initiative, now in its 7th year, has raised over $4.5million for charities to date, in support of women and children across the globe.
Cash & Rocket was founded by businesswoman and philanthropist, Julie Brangstrup, in 2011. Julie’s ambitious and brave vision is to change the world through the creation of a platform that inspires, motivates and supports women from all walks of life to raise lifechanging amounts of money for the charities involved.
This year, American personality, Paris Hilton, will be taking part in this star-studded line up for the very first time, joining 79 other influential women who are all working together to make a difference. “It is such an incredible time for women and I am so excited to join the ladies of Cash & Rocket this year and continue raising awareness”, expresses Paris ahead of this year’s event. “I’m honoured to support the cause and combine this with my love for cars, whilst also helping to empower and raise money for future generations of amazing women.”
Other celebrities joining Paris Hilton on the starting line include: Jackie Cruz, Caroline Stanbury, Chloe Green, Amy Jackson, Selita Ebanks and Jodie Kidd. Each participant will be raising money for this year’s chosen charities: Sumbandila, The Helen Bamber Foundation and Dream for Future Africa Foundation (DFFAF). During the tour, a representative from the charities will also be with the women, providing information on the charities and sharing details on how the funds raised are used towards their charity. The aim: To inspire the women and raise as much money as possible.
“I’m very excited to be bringing the 2019 Cash & Rocket tour back to Europe. The support we receive from all the women who take part and those who donate is overwhelming. Through female solidarity, we are able to raise money for charities around the world which provide life-changing support to women and children in need. Each year, I fly out to visit the various projects funded by the tours and it really is astounding what we can achieve when we all come together”, comments founder of Cash & Rocket, Julie Brangstrup. “We are eternally grateful to each and every one of the women who take part, alongside our wonderful sponsors: Michael Kors, BMW, Grace & Rose Skin care, Weismann, Julien Macdonald, Lorenz Bäumer, Bentley, Miasuki, David Morris, Apogii Clinic, David Morris, and MV Augusta ” without whom none of this would be possible.”
Cash & Rocket brings 80 inspiring women together for the ultimate adventure of a lifetime.
