The Rotary Club of Colombo Metropolitan (RCCM) in partnership with the Italian Car Enthusiasts Club (ICEC) held their inaugural Car Rally yesterday at the Excel World Car Park. The charity rally had over 40 participants of all cars of all makes and models. The participants of the rally had a fun-filled day of driving with camaraderie. 

  Rotary Italia Charity Car Rally was organized to collect funds to uplift two schools, namely the Wethara Maha Vidyalaya and Olaboduwa Zoysa Maha Vidyalaya Gonapola in aid of the construction of toilets and a computer lab. With each registration, a stationery pack will also be provided for a less fortunate child. These community development projects are initiated, monitored and managed by RCCM.   


All the participants ensured that they have a valid driving license to drive in Sri Lanka, with a road-friendly vehicle that is insured. Each vehicle has maximum of four participants and minimum of two which is the driver and a navigator. All 10 check points will be managed by three Rotaract Clubs of RCCM.   This unique Charity Rally is organised as an event for fun-loving car enthusiasts and the Rotary Family of District 3220.
