Britannic Technologies introduced the charity Dreams Come
True at this year's Annual Convergence Summit. Delegates at the
event had the chance to have their photos taken with some amazing
cars and put their hands in their pockets for a great cause.
Dreams Come True is a children's charity serving the whole of
the UK. Their mission is quite simply, to make dreams come true for
seriously and terminally ill children across the country. Over the
last 10 years they have brought happiness and joy to more than five
thousand children as well as their friends, family and carers.
How you helped...
Rally Thrill silent
auction
Britannic ran a silent auction at the taking bids for a Rally
Thrill. The thrill of rally driving is like nothing you will have
ever experienced before. These Group N spec Ford Fiesta ST cars are
state of the art rally cars that are currently used in championship
rallies around the world.
Your photo with this F1 car
Guestes at the Convergence Summit were photographed with
the Stewart GP car driven by Johnny Herbert in 1999, in which
he won the Monaco Grand Prix.
For a suggested donation of £10 you can have your photograph
taken with the car, along with an Aston Martin Vantage V8 and a
Ferrari 430. Pictures were printed out and are available
online.

understanding to marketing and the needs of a children's charity
like Dreams Come True. They are like us, a national organisation
and we are privileged to be a part of their Convergence Summit 2011
