About The Project : 

About The Project Darell Johnston will attempt to make history this October when he embarks on an adventure across the country in his Twin Engine Slingshot Dragster.  "Slingshot Sally" as the car will be known, will be built as a tribute to Darell's grandmother Eileen, a 45-year survivor of breast cancer and mastectomy.  Darell plans to complete the dragster by September 25th in time for local car shows and a send off party. The journey will begin the third week of October, 2010 when he travels from Charlotte, NC to Las Vegas Nevada. The tour ends at the SEMA show, which takes place the first week of November at the Las Vegas Convention Center where Slingshot Sally will be prominently displayed.  Along the way, there will be opportunity to cheer Darell on in select cities.  Additionally, Slingshot Sally will be joining another cross-country cruise, the “Driven’ Dirty Tour”, along with fellow car builders Corky Coker, Scott Whittaker and several others.

Branding 101 : 

Branding 101 Breast cancer awareness as a cause is relevant and personal. Our brand's promise is simple to understand. Our mission is important to an audience that is ready to listen and participate by wearing Slingshot Sally apparel and sharing updates about the build and tour via social media. The Slingshot Sally branding--anchored in the combination of an ambitious car project, the color pink, and the timely unveiling during Breast Cancer Awareness Month --is consistent and on- agenda with each and every instance of exposure which will continue from now until mid 2012. We would all like to see a cure for this disease, and the fact that Slingshot Sally and its branding will be combined with the familiar and successful pink ribbon campaign demonstrates that we (SSS and YOU) can together raise both awareness and funding as a step in the right direction.
