our purpose
An Empowered Network
connection
The CASH & ROCKET community is a global sisterhood of philanthropic women who support each other and strive to use their influence and power to empower others. In addition to staying connected remotely, our members attend CASH & ROCKET events throughout the year to support each other as well as support existing and new C&R charity causes.
Giving with Purpose
Charity
While CASH & ROCKET community commits to raising funds through our annual car tour, many members in the Collective continue to use their influence and resources far beyond the tour creating a sustainable, philanthropic model. Our mission is to introduce influential women to new charities and new ways to give and encourage them to continue to contribute beyond the Tour.
what we do

Driven for Change
Our legendary four-day Car Tour is central to connecting our global network of women and supporting our charity partners. Featuring 40 iconic red sports cars, 80 women in teams of two drive through four cities while highlighting our mission, raising funds for our charities, and promoting our sponsor brands. Our past CASH & ROCKET drivers have a combined social media reach of 70,000,000 and include influential women Dame Emma Thompson, Ashley Graham, Paris Hilton, Jodie Kidd, Princess Reema bint Bandar Al Saud, Selita Banks, and Patricia Arquette.

Stronger Together
the collective
After completing their first Car Tour, our drivers become part of the CASH & ROCKET Collective – a group of strong women who support each other and strive to use their influence and power to empower others. In addition to staying connected and supporting each other remotely, CASH & ROCKET aims to host at least one in-person event every month in London to bring together our extraordinary members and discuss issues relevant to the women in our group.
our TEAM & STORY
Cash & Rocket was founded by entrepreneur Julie Brangstrup in 2011 to create a community of influential, female leaders in their industries united by the goal to use their influence to help each other and others.
Named after Julie’s son and godson, the name CASH & ROCKET represents the urgency and determination to raise funds quickly for meaningful causes. In just nine events, CASH & ROCKET has raised over £4.7 million for our charity partners.
founder
JULIE BRANGSTRUP
Julie Brangstrup is a Danish entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience, events, and entertainment. She began her career at Morgan Stanley in the Private Clients division. In 2000, she launched Vita Viva, a Danish health supplements company, and in 2001, she co-founded the Gumball 3000 Group and played a pivotal role in its growth, overseeing five companies under the group and achieving a valuation of £120 million by 2006.
As a successful female entrepreneur and mother of six, Julie recognised the security, love, and encouragement that she was able to receive and give and wondered how things might be different without the resources and support that she had. This led to the creation of CASH & ROCKET in 2012 to bring women together as a catalyst for good through a unique lifestyle experience.
““I wanted to revolutionise the landscape of how women talk about the social and economic problems facing women, mothers, and children on a worldwide scale. The CASH & ROCKET Tour unites women of all ages, backgrounds, nationalities and professions, but for four days we stand together as one voice. It is a well-known fact that we can achieve more together, than we can alone.””Julie brangstrup
