The Tarheel Mini Motoring Club was founded in May of 2005, and is based out of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The purpose of the Club is to allow MINI owners to keep in touch, join with other MINIots in great events all year long, and to just have fun. Each year they hold the Blue Ridge Parkway Tour, a 4-day journey from one end of the Parkway to the other, and donate a portion of the fees to the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation
Teresa Pennington is a self-taught colored pencil artist with a talent she says is God-given. Often spending as much as four months on one drawing, she meticulously renders the scenery, landmarks, flora and fauna of Western North Carolina with an emphasis on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Teresa contributes the proceeds from the sale of her Blue Ridge Parkway Overlook Series and Viaduct prints to the Foundation.
Vehicles For Charity allows individuals to donate their vehicles to the charity of their choice instead of selling, trading or storing them. They accept cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, recreational vehicles, and campers, and offer free pickup of the vehicle. They also provide the donation documentation that is required for tax deductions.
The Wildlife Cookie Company believes strongly in the need to preserve, enhance, and restore the natural treasures that are our National Parks, and partners with many parks around the country. A percentage of the proceeds from the sales of the Blue Ridge Mountains wildlife cookies are donated to the Foundation.
