What is the 500:500 Business Club Fundraising Initiative?
The Business Club Fundraising Initiative is an innovative programme designed by Zak O’Sullivan to garner £500 of support from 500 businesses from Gloucestershire and beyond, to help fund his racing career. The initiative aims to bridge the financial gap that often hinders talented drivers from progressing in their careers due to the high costs associated with motorsport. By creating a mutually beneficial partnership, Zak offers businesses the opportunity to support his journey while gaining significant brand exposure and networking opportunities within the motorsport community. The fundraising goal is unashamedly ambitious, aiming to cover essential costs such as equipment, travel, and race entry fees, ensuring that Zak can focus on achieving success on the track.
