Win A Unique Volkswagen Van And Help Teenage Cancer Trust

 

9 APRIL 2008 UK charity Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT), together 
with legendary rock band, The Who, are launching a worldwide 
competition to win a unique 1965 'split-screen' Volkswagen 
Transporter van with special The Who 'Magic Bus' branding.

 

The competition to win the iconic van, provided by Volkswagen 
Commercial Vehicles, will be launched by Roger Daltrey CBE, 
The Who frontman and patron of TCT, on Tuesday 8 April at the 
opening night of the annual TCT week of fund raising gigs at 
the Royal Albert Hall in London, which includes performances 
from Madness, Muse, Paul Weller, Joan Armatrading, The 
Fratellis and, of course, The Who.  

 

This unique Volkswagen van will be on display outside the 
Royal Albert Hall until the last TCT gig on Sunday 13 April.  
It has been signed by The Who's Roger Daltrey CBE and Pete 
Townsend, and branded with a unique design by The Who's art 
director, Richard Evans, featuring the band's famous target 
logo together with images of the original band members, 
including Keith Moon and John Entwistle.

 

Tickets for the competition are available from www.
thewhomagicbus.com http://www.thewhomagicbus.com/>  
and cost £5 each, with all net proceeds being donated to TCT.  
All entrants receive a free download of a previously 
unreleased live performance by The Who of its famous hit 
'Magic Bus'.

 

Inspiration for the competition stems from a successful 
collaboration between The Who and Volkswagen Commercial 
Vehicles last year which resulted in a special live 
performance by the band at an international celebration event 
of 60 years of the Volkswagen van http://www.
volkswagen-vans.co.uk/transporter>  in Hannover, Germany in 
October. 

 

Stephan Schaller, Head of the Board of Management of 
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: 'We really hope that 
many people will take part in this competition so we can help 
TCT to support many more teenagers with cancer.'

 

Roger Daltrey CBE said: 'As a long standing Patron of TCT, I 
am delighted to launch this unique competition.  It will help 
TCT raise essential funds so that we can build more teenage 
cancer units within the NHS.  The UK is a world leader in 
providing this support for teenagers with cancer and in 2008 
we will open five new units and start building work on a 
further two.'
