VW PRESS RELEASE JUNE 11 2008
THE WHO MAGIC BUS TO MAKE SPECIAL APPEARANCE AT CAMPERJAM

With the 8 July closing date less than a month away for the compe***ion by UK charity Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT) and legendary rock band, The Who, to win a special 1965 ‘split-screen’ Volkswagen Transporter van, don’t miss the chance to buy a ticket to win it, or to see it when it makes a special appearance at CamperJam. The weekend is dedicated to owners and lovers of Volkswagen vans organised by VW Camper and Commercial magazine and takes place at Weston Park, Staffordshire from 20th to 22nd June.

This unique 1965 Volkswagen van, donated by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, has a colourful The Who Magic Bus branding designed by The Who’s art director, Richard Evans, featuring the band’s famous target logo and a Union Jack roof, together with images of the original band members, including Keith Moon and John Entwistle.

Tickets can be purchased from www.thewhomagicbus.com and cost £5 each. All entrants receive a free download of a previously unreleased live performance of ‘Magic Bus’ by The Who. Tickets for CamperJam and full information of the weekend’s activities are available from Camperjam.
Inspiration for the competition stems from a successful collaboration between The Who and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles last year which resulted in a special live performance by the band at a celebration of 60 years of the Volkswagen Transporter.

Stephan Schaller, Head of the Board of Management of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: ‘We really hope that many people will take part in this competition so we can help TCT to support many more teenagers with cancer.’

At the launch of the competition, Roger Daltrey CBE said: ‘As a long standing Patron of TCT, I am delighted to launch this unique competition. It will help TCT raise essential funds so that we can build more teenage cancer units within the NHS. The UK is a world leader in providing this support for teenagers with cancer and in 2008 we will open five new units and start building work on a further two.’

TCT, founded in 1990, focuses on the needs of teenagers and young adults with cancer, who often receive inappropriate facilities catering for children or the elderly, by providing specialist units in NHS hospitals with state-of-the-art facilities and an environment where teenagers can meet others in a similar situation. TCT has built units in London, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Liverpool, Glasgow and Newcastle. TCT also funds a team to teach young people in schools, colleges and universities about cancer, prevention and healthy living. Further information is available from Teenage Cancer Trust
