It started off as an annual Woodward Dream Cruise party and has grown into a statewide event that travels aprx. 1000 miles of Florida every year in February. When interviewed recently, Randy Kohler, the founder of the National Gumball Rally said "Anyone can sign up for this fun road-trip especially if you're a fan of Florida or a fan of motor sports." When asked about gas prices Randy replied "Nothing will stop this dedicated group from completing the trip we organized to promote Florida's business, tourism and charity."
The Michigan Gumball Rally was started in 2010 when entrepreneur (Randy Kohler) noticed an opportunity. Behind every fun event is a driven force of advertising that many people do not notice. The Michigan Gumball Rally claims it can generate hundreds of millions of impressions per year through outdoor vehicle advertising, social media strategy and event planning. Florida is the new project
Randy, 30, first came up with the idea during a road trip and decided to bring the idea to reality after Nelson House, the original founder of The Woodward Dream Cruise died of cancer in 2010. "Someone needed to step up to the plate and lead by example. I set out to organize fun, positive events that anyone can participate in. The Woodward Dream Cruise is the largest one day auto event in the whole world with an annual attendance of over two million people, and it started as a fundraiser to earn money for a children's charity."
Randy finished the interview by saying "Nelson House is a great example of how one person can change the world for the better, I intend to continue that legacy so that someday people will remember me as well. I'm hoping this interview will inspire more people to join us."
Any vehicle can enter the Gumball Rally including sports cars, classic cars, trucks, motorcycles, and rental cars.
