Just kind of throwing it out there...

[Chillin]

I was wondering what the possability of people wanting to do a cruise for a cause kind of thing. Like everyone who comes gives $10 and we donate all the money to like the Red foundation or some fund. Just a thought, see what the interest would be.

good idea, definately something I could get behind

I would like to do something like that too. I did all kinds of fundraising and philanthropy work during college and found it cool. If you want to put something together to present to the club, I am sure most people will work with you!

I found some information out this weekend, and I think we might be able to do something to support one of our members. I will respect his privacy, but I think he'll know I'm talking about him. Shoot me a PM to discuss.

Always better donating to a charity or organization... not a specific person.

^ +1

[Chillin]

Yea, I would prefer to do a charity of some sort. I'm gonna look into the Red Campaign and some other ones and post some info on what I get to see what peoples thoughts are.

[FreakBurrito]

I'm sorry if I wasn't specific, but I was intending that we support a particular charity that would have an impact on a member here.

Progress?

[Chillin]

Sorry for the long delay. Been busy with the holiday weekend. Right now i'm currently waiting on a response about two different charities to figure out which one would be better. Once I get info for both I'll give more info.

Also, i'd like to soon try and go out driving to potentially map out a route for a cruise Maybe up the coast or something? Just not sure if people are bored of doing the Kang so I thought i'd try and do something different. If people are fine with jsut driving the kang then we can just do that.

Count me in

[WinterKnoll]

I'd be interested in this as well.

Well after trying to get an e-mail back I gave up on the red foundation people. I have a feeling most of you have heard of this one though, the Cam Neely Foundation. Its actually kind of local as I believe its based in Boston. Its a charity for Cancer research as well as helping people/families dealing with it. Here is a link as I would like everyone to be happy with where their money is going http://www.camneelyfoundation.org/donation/index.php This is one I know i'm happy with.

Also, I am hoping to make a trip or 2 to hand map a cruise route. With the awesome weather we've been having I can't help but want to be near the beach so I am thinking a coastal ride. Some nice pics of the cars along the beach. If anyone would care to join me on the ride to make a map they are more than welcome.

I'd like to know peoples ideas or comments as I have never done something like this before so constructive criticism is welcomed.

I'm also thinking mid august for this, mostly cause i'm kind of busy the rest of July.

[Murphy2012]

Depending on the size of this, you are going to need until Mid August just to get it ready. If you want some help with organization, I will aid, but cant put much time in due to the business. I will give you whatever advice or minor help I can give, I have a lot of experience setting up philanthropy events and fundraisers!

You should post this up on nasioc, and maby some others, would be awsome if we could get a huge turnout for this.
Also +1 for the cancer cause, I would of said talk to the lance armstrong foundation but that one gets alot of donations as it is a smaller one would might be better. Also if you want to broden this to all cars my friend might be able to make us up a poster then print out a bunch, he does all the posters for OSG paintball, and BOLP paintball.
