The goal of the event is to provide children and youth, who're dealing with health issues, their own rally car and driver for the day – and then hit the road from downtown Kelowna to Penticton and back.
Matt August, whose family founded the rally, says an added cool 'bonus' this year will be a couple of fly-bys by a Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 Hornet.
He says the fighter jet will "fly by at 10:30 and 10:50 Sunday morning right over downtown Kelwona" – and then will be parked later at Penticton Airport for viewing.
The August Family Foundation began the Dream Rally two years ago raising a total of $327,000, so far.
Over the course of the next three years, August says they're committed to helping Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon raise $500,000 to help families receive the care they need.
