Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa, the holiday season is about spending time with family, eating too much, and celebrating the season of giving. For a lot of people here in the States, and around the World, this is going to be a tough month. With the economy in the toilet, it’s worse than ever, and some of our sponsors and fellow hot rodders are trying to do something about it and we need your help.
Now this is a last minute deal, so sorry for the late notice, but a deserving family in Ohio is struggling because of a sick child and tough times. Albert Melchior, owner of Carbon Kustoms, is spearheading this thing, and has donated a Carbon Fiber hood for the auction. Ridetech has donated a set of coil-over shocks, Optima a battery, Goldberg something Goldbergish, and so on. Please support the auction, or donate something to be auctioned off. All donations and payments will be going through Bill Howell’s paypal account and more information on payment will be coming soon. Any item you win in the auction will be shipped after the 1st and the auction only goes until the 22nd. So that is 10 DAYS! Help this family now.
To follow this on Pro-Touring, visit their Forum Thread here. The original thread text is below. If your company wants to donate an item for the auction, or just cash, either respond to this thread on Pro-Touring or email [email protected]and we’ll make sure it happens.
What do the Holidays mean to you???? Family together,,,,, laying down on the couch after eating way too much LOL,,,, or some BIG smiles from children opening gifts from under the tree….
Just imagine being a kid and not having any gifts or a christmas tree with a present under it,,,,, and even worse a sick family member that has an uncertain future….
We have an opportunity to make sure this isn’t a reality for one special family from Ohio.Bill Goldberg, Greg Tholen of GT Motor sports and myself are challenging the board, corporations and all people who read this thread to make the difference….. Please purchase products donated in this thread over the next ten days….. We will, as a community, make sure this family has a Merry Christmas……
Bill will be putting up a very special “Goldberg one of a kind package” that will be posted shortly….
Greg Tholen will dawn a festive outfit (how much are will to pay to see that LOL,,,,, now that could be Christmas or Hanukkah BTW)….
Carbon Kustoms will donate a Carbon Hood for a 1970-1973 Trans Am hood (or our future second Gen Camaro Hood to be released 2nd quarter 2012)So bid,,,,, or donate,,,,, but lets make a difference for this Family because it’s never too late….
