??Tops Off?? for Breast Cancer research
Shannons are urging motoring enthusiasts around Australia to ??Take their Tops Off?? to raise funds for Beast Cancer Research.

The idea, which originated in Hobart, is to invite enthusiasts with convertible motor vehicles to display their prized possession at local ??Show & Shine?? events held in Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania during October ?? National Breast Cancer Month.

Cars ranging in age from early 1900s Veteran and Vintage to Classics and modern day prestige and sporting vehicles such as Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce are all invited to attend.
Regular ??daily-driven?? convertibles such as Audi, BMW, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Volkswagen and Volvo are also welcome to attend and drop their tops, irrespective of their owners being directly involved in the car club movement.

The unique feature of each ??Tops Off?? show is that spectators are encouraged to buy a $2.00 ??pink?? National Breast Cancer Foundation ribbon and place it in front of the vehicle of their choice.

At the end of the day, the vehicle with the most ??pink?? ribbons wins the People??s Choice award, which in Hobart is a pink personalised number plate.

Participants are also encouraged to wear ??pink?? and/or theme their vehicle or picnic lunch accordingly.
Since its inception three years ago, the ??Tops Off?? days have raised and donated more than $10,000 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The money will be used to fund research and raise awareness of this disease that affects one in eight women in their lifetime and more than 140 men each year.
