Last September, Torontomazda3 members and friends came together for an Epic Photo Shoot in support of Hearth Place.
The result was the epic picture below, and almost $10,000 raised for Hearth Place.

http://www.torontomazda3.ca/heartforhearth/images/121_1toronto_mazda_3_zoom_zoom_aerial_shot_by_kasp i.jpg

By popular demand, this September, Torontomazda3 is coming back to the Oshawa Municipal Airport for Heart For Hearth 2013. This year we have really big plans, and we hope you will join us.

On Sunday September 22nd, 2013 TorontoMazda3 (TM3) will host the largest gathering of Mazda 3's ever! We will be attempting to set a Guinness Record with 800 Mazda 3's participating in a parade lap and photoshoot. The event will take place on the runways of the Oshawa Municipal Airport and will run in conjunction with the 5K On The Runway event, with both events raising funds to support the Hearth Place Cancer Care Centre in Oshawa. TM3 aims to raise over $20,000 in donations, including a $5000 donation from Mazda Canada.

Need more incentive to attend? How about a chance to win a three year lease on a 2014 Mazda 3?

Each car in attendance will receive a raffle ticket. At the end of the event, we will draw a ticket and one lucky attendee will win a three year lease on a 2014 Mazda 3!

We will also be hosting a separate raffle with tickets sold to raise money for Hearth Place. Prizes for this raffle will be announced at a later date.

Question.
Where are we getting 800 Mazda 3's from? We couldn't get 300 last year.

Question.
Where are we getting 800 Mazda 3's from? We couldn't get 300 last year.

Multi part answer.
1)Hoping that people see we were able to pull off last years event smoothly, will encourage more people to attend. We had a lot of people register, and not attend. We also had a lot of people say they were going to register, or have friends/family register but did not get those people to register.

2) We are giving away a three year lease on a 2014 Mazda 3. That should certainly provide some additional incentive to register/attend.
3) We are trying to set a Guinness Record(need 684 Mazda 3's). The chance to be part of the record should certainly provide some additional incentive to register/attend.
4) Mazda Canada - Will be putting it on Mazda.ca, Facebook, twitter, Zoom Zoom ezine. Additionally every dealer in Ontario, Quebec, and North East US will be promoting the event via posters, and email campaigns.
5) Additional marketing on our side. Now that we have done this before, we can spend more time promoting the event. We will have more post card flyers, more posters, more emails, etc.

:chuckle was going to ask that.



Im not registering just yet but will register as the deadline comes closer and I am sure I can make it that day.

Also Perhaps we can get some flyers printed and put on Mazda 3s all over the GTA???
I am pretty sure alot of people might be willing to come along tm3 and non tm3 people alike if a world record is involved.


can the runway even fit 800 cars? :chuckle



Also I was just gonna post about the recent thing with the miatas and how we should try and beat them in a new thread :P

Waiting for some 2014 Mazda 3 images from Mazda Canada. Once we have that, plan is to print 2000 postcard flyers to distribute. Also posters for every dealer.

wouldnt they have to unveil the car to the general public first though? From what I can gather the 2014 one is planned to unveil at Franfurt in September. Or is the 2014 one not the long awaited redesign. This is confusing. :(

2014 is a full redesign. We will have pictures, maybe not full images, but enough for our graphics "soon" ;)
We are also hoping to secure a 2014 Mazda 3 to show case at the event.

It would be cool if they just did the global unveiling at this event like some higher end car manufacturers do at other events that are not auto shows.

Hopefully, you can both make it. We need every active/semi active/occasional visitor to attend. We need you to tell friends, neighbors, family, random people at gas stations, anyone that drives a 3, we NEED them to attend.
Your sisters, BF's, cousin drives a 3 ? Awesome, get them to register and attend.

The message I would deliver is simple. CSCS is an ongoing series, with multiple events a year. Heart For Hearth is an opportunity to be part of a Guiness Record. Also, you will have a 1/800 chance of winnign a 3 year lease on a 2014 Mazda 3.

not to mention that its all for a good cause :)



also I am actually willing to go around and put flyers under people's wipers wherever I go. residential areas may be a bit trickier because I dont see anyone doing that kind of stuff in a residential area.

I have to agree with Ami on this. This is an event you should put in your calendar and work around vs seeing if you can fit this in around all other obligations haha. This was my wife and I's first exposure to TM3 and we couldn't have had a better time.

Great cause, great group of people and who can deny that 100 car or whatever it was cruise down the 401 wasn't the coolest thing ever! :D

I would have said it this way as well.. Come on really, it's more than 3 months advance notice. At this point it's either you're going or not. Make a commitment and stick with it.

This event is not just for the prices, not just to break the Guinness World Records, but to be part of a good cause to help those in need.

My project ends this October and by that time, most people would have been shipped to other places. If I'm still here then, I will just fly down and rent a Mazda 3 for the day.

So there, that's my commitment to this event and the club as well. With or without my car, I'll see those willing to give time on Sunday, September 22, 2013. :thumbsup

Awesome. Nice to see this event being run again - was a blast last year. (You can see me boxed in by four CWPs at the top of the first "M"!)

I'm out of school and working full-time now though, so attendance will depend on how projects are going at that point. I'll try to check in again once I have a better idea and can firm up travel arrangements. :thumbsup

I should set up a north meet ( vaughan mills) a few weeks before the event. Although I know of maybe one location that might be slightly closer to the 400.

Last year's H4H meet was my first TM3 meet and it was such a great experience! My car was totally stock that time but I am looking forward to bringing my car with a few mods this time :) I brought a buddy last year and I will bring more this time! I will see if I can get them to register and donate even if they come along in my car. I'll try and get some more non TM3 Mazda's to join!

Going to register now and will mark my calendar!! Can't miss this!

Cheers to those organizing, and taking on such a big task...it WILL be worth it :D

You could just put it on people's doors/inbetween the frames if they have 3 in their driveway. Probably better than touching cars on a private driveway.

Hey Sami,

Just read your article on the top ten greatest Mazdas. Just wondering if you'd want to help raise awareness about a TorontoMazda3 forum event that's taking place on September 22, 2013 at the Oshawa Municipal Airport.

This is a charity event and all proceeds will go to Hearth Centre Cancer Care. The plan is to raise $20,000, and $5000 will be donated by Mazda Canada.

There is more information here: http://www.torontomazda3.ca/heartforhearth/index.php

their email is tips@jalopnik.com

they used to have a tips forum but that was gone when the new "kinja" thing was introduced :(
( They actually made a story based off one of my tips i posted on their #tips thread....not so much luck with their email but its worth a shot)

What about vinyl decals for member rides windows? They can have basic attention grabbing information about the event? Maybe a QR code to the registration/info page?

I've toyed with the idea of decals. If someone wanted to design one or two options that they felt would serve the purpose, go for it, post it, and if it works, I will have them made.

perhaps we should also have decals at the end of the event ( if we break the record) that say "this car beat a world record" or something and sell them and have the proceeds go to hearth place.

absolutely! But it's kind of like the sports championship apparel, it can't be seen until the team wins. I don't want to order 800 decals until I know we have enough cars for the record.

QR codes mean nothing if you don't know what they're for. People won't start scanning random QR codes on cars. We are trying to target a specific market so to do that we need to make the message loud and clear.

We included a QR code link to the HFH site on our marketing flyers last year. We will again this year. As soon as we get official images of the 2014, we will be finishing our promo items, and printing 2000 postcard/flyers.

honestly, I don't see it happening in 2014. I was unsure about trying to put it together this year. But, the record attempt, and the major prize from Mazda, and the potential to really help Hearth Place.
The work and hours involved in putting on an event like this...not likely to happen next year.

One correction to start, "fight against cancer", this does not work. We are not fundraising to find a cure.

What would this be for?
Was thinking it would be good on the back window, or the small window on the rear passenger side of the hatch... I don't expect people to be reading it on the highway or anything. Just thinking about when my car is parked in a retail parking lot, or stopped at a stop light... Last year I had one of the adverts on my dash all September, but I don't think many (if any) people read it when i wasn't there to inform them about it. Which I understand because: personally, I'd feel a little awkward getting caught checking out what people leave on the dash of their car.


I'm trying to find a way to word it that isn't going to be long winded and over cluttered, but still informative and attention grabbing.

If I'm headed in the wrong direction with this, let me know. Just trying to help out:P.

Not a bad idea, but really, how many people are going to buy one for only 1 day? even if its for a amazing cause. Ill be telling any mazda owners i see with word of mouth, and maybe write down a website or something

I wouldnt mind handing things out, but it would have to only be to people and not on their cars or mailboxes

Anybody who owns a Mazda3, come out and support Hearth Place Cancer Care Centre on Sunday, September 22, 2013! The event takes place on the runways of the Oshawa Municipal Airport. We're hoping to raise $20,000 with an additional $5000 being donated by Mazda Canada. Each participant will be required to donate a minimum of $20.

This is also a chance to set a Guinness World Record for the most Mazda3's in a single gathering, and also an opportunity to win a brand new 2014 Mazda3 on a three-year lease!

Just a thought that might be more of an incentive...

I'm sure that if we break the world record, we'd get one plaque to commemorate it once they verifiy attendance. Thing is, only one person will have it. If we can arrange for some "replicas" of the certificate to be made, everyone can have a memorable momento. I figure it'd be cheap to do - colour laser copy + dollar store frame.

this is going to be epic. I can already tell were going to get more than 300 3's. Are we going to spell anything out like last year? or Kaspy aerial pictures? Or is it going to be like the miata meet where we train along to get the record?
More than 300..I hope so..we are givign away a 3 year lease on a car! I need at least 684 Mazda 3's.
Working on a design for this year, with ~800 cars, timing is going to be difficult, but yes Kaspi will be on hand to produce aerial photography again.
We are also going to do a parade, like the Miata folks. That is required for the record. We are working on that route, it will be at least 3km parade route.

A big ol' heart shape would be good for the charity. Or a Mazda logo. But we'd need to go off the paved runway for that, which I think was strictly forbidden.

Correct, we must stay on runway .
Ideally about 70 feet wide would be max

We could put the whole thing upside down with a zoom zoom and then a large mazda logo where the runways intersect and there is a bit of an opening.

There are restrictions (airport and 5K run/walk) that we have to follow so once we have an idea of what those are specifically we can get more detailed with the design. Ideas are welcomed though. :)
