06.26.09 ACS Donations From Your Region

Many attendees have asked organizers if they can raise money from Porsche fans in their own region and bring the donations to Porsches 2 Oxford. Of course!  The American Cancer Society raises funds both locally and nationally and all charitable donations serve the greater good for anyone battling cancer. Without research and funding, the number of new treatment options, trial drugs, and other tools to battle the disease become harder to get to the people who need them most: the patients.  And without funding, the wait is longer in finding a cure.   We encourage you to ask around and see if our underlying charity matters in your region. If so, take up a collection plate and P2O organizers will add it to the charitable giving already planned.

P2O is working hard to donate more than $10,000 to the ACS this year from the sale of event registrations, MaryLynn’s Row reserved parking, and 50/50 raffle tickets.  Your help can make this goal achieveable. The beauty of Porsches 2 Oxford charitable giving is 100% comes from the attendees. No sponsorship money is used to fill the money plate, so cancer patients around rural Ohio and the entire country know donations from P2O come at a personal level by those who care.  P2O sponsors are on our team to ensure your event experience is the best, most user-friendly, value-added event on your summer car show calendar!

06.15.09 P2O Soars Past 200 Pre-Registrations

Porsches 2 Oxford zoomed past 200 pre-registrations this week, marking the earliest point in event history organizers have exceeded the mark.  The July 25, 2009 event continues to take shape as volunteers polish off the last remaining details to ensure your experience is first class.  The fifth anniversary event brings together Porsche fans from nearly 20 states and Canada. We’ve also seen significant increases in organized caravans from out of state.  P2O fans are taking it upon themselves to organize their own drive with fellow friends to the quaint hinterlands of Oxford, just a stone’s throw from the Ohio-Indiana border.

Pre-registration for the Sunday road rally organized by the professionals at Scenic Road Rallies is also breaking records.  Space is limited so do not wait until P2O weekened to reserve your spot.

06.01.09 P2O Releases Official 2009 Event Poster

Porsches 2 Oxford unveiled the 2009 event poster to news agencies, media, and corporate sponsors on Monday in preparation for the July 25th event in uptown Oxford, OH. The fifth anniversary ‘Casual Porsche Party” anticipates attracting 500 cars from across the country in another record-breaking turnout.

Chris Rieman, Webmaster and Media/Publicity Director for P2O, designed the poster and the ones before it. In his third attempt at capturing the event’s spirit, he worked with over 1,500 photos before choosing the one to base this year’s design from.

“Our posters are marketing materials and artistic interpretations rolled into one,” Rieman said. “I try to use photos for each poster from the prior event because they are freshest thumbprint on the direction of P2O.  From the outset, organizers were adamant about using the posters to increase brand recognition and awareness. To that end, we’ve stuck with basic design principles in terms of logo position, sponsorship space, and artistic canvas to groom a familiarity as a collectible series of posters that display well by themselves but even better as a group.”

The process takes six to eight weeks to trim the list of potential photos to base a design from, then from a cut list the final photo is chosen to work with as the basis for the theme. “P2O is about the Porsche family and we include everyone at the table. Past posters focused on a 911 Turbo, a 944 back-dropped against the huge P2O crowds, and this year a 356 takes center stage. It’s fair to say other Porsche models stand a good chance of finding their way onto future event posters. For such a classy group of people that attend P2O, we want classy looking posters fans won’t be ashamed to hang in their home as a centerpiece to their collection.”

All pre-registered attendees receive a complimentary poster. Extra posters will be on sale at the event.
