How to apply to become the 2014 Clipsal 500 Adelaide Official Charity...
The Clipsal 500 Adelaide Charity Program began in 1999 in conjunction with the inaugural Clipsal 500 Adelaide. Over the past 13 years the event has provided a platform for charities to raise funds and gain greater exposure and understanding of their charity amongst thousands.
The South Australian Motor Sport Board, who stages the Clipsal 500 Adelaide, proudly appoints an annual Official Charity for the Clipsal 500 Adelaide.
Applications are now open to any charity wishing to apply for the 2014 Clipsal 500 Adelaide.
Whilst in the past the process had stipulated that a charity is not able to be appointed twice this restriction has been changed. For the 2014 event a charity that was Official Charity 10 years ago or more can apply to become the Official Charity of the event once more.

- Do you have the ability to promote your association with the event through various channels?
- What could your charity bring to the Clipsal 500 Adelaide that will enhance the event?
If you are selected as the Official Charity you will receive the following benefits:
- 3 x 3 m marquee display site
- ½ page recognition in the events Official Program
- Opportunity to supply ads for the on track 500FMTV network
- Tickets and prizes valued at over $3,000 to auction with all proceeds going to your charity
