Pay it Forward to Make-A-Wish Foundation
The following thread is opened here for discussion/comments/etc
For any links to the request for donation page, please use the following link from the "News and Press Release forum":
http://www.clubhotrod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44486
Please remember, this is not about me, or my helpers, this is strictly about helping the children.
Ok guys, I've tried to figure out the best way to make this post as it is not about me, but about the car being donated, and about the additional funds we are trying to raise for the Make-A-Wish Foundation(tm). I'll keep this short.
This is the car being auctioned off at the Barrett Jackson auction:
Here is the web page for the car and a bit of background as to why we are doing this:
http://payitforwardmotorsports.com/
This is the secure web page on the Make-A-Wish foundation server for direct cash donation.
https://secure.wish.org/friends/payitforward.html
What I am looking for is everyone and anyones assistance in getting the word out, not always about the car being donated, but about the donation page seeking additional funds (not to cover the cost of the car, 100% of all donations go directly to Make-A-Wish)
The more funds we can donated, the more the Make-A-Wish foundation can assist the kids.
That is about it in a nutshell, again, all I ask is that you send a link to friends and family, let them decide whether to donate or not. I'm also asking for your assistance in getting the word out to other forums you may be members of by contacting the admin/owners and asking permission in which to post the link and the request for donations. With the amount of membership we have, I'm hoping to make this request go viral around the web in a very short time.
Again, I thank all of you in advance for your assistance and your contributions.
Sincerely,
Bill S.Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

Just a heads up, we are officially on the roster, should have a lot number assigned in the next week or two. Again 100% of the cars highest bid is going directly to Make-A-Wish, Barrett Jackson has graciously waived their buyer/seller fees for this car.

Well, I must really tip my hat to the folks at Barrett Jackson, just got off the phone with them and they have assigned lot # 359.1 to the car. This places it in prime time Friday evening. I am truly blown away by the generosity of almost all who I have contacted in regards to this car. Now let's hope we can garner a world of interest and top 6 figures for the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Hey guys, back at the house, exhausted yes, thrilled with what I was able to donate to the Make-A-Wish foundation ($60,000). Going to push a little to see if I can get more of you to make direct donations on my web page to Make-A-Wish..........

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
