;D ;DATTENTION In The Pits!!To ALL My Racing Family and Friends;
BURBANK MASONIC LODGE 4th ANNUAL CAR SHOW
BENEFITING “SHRINERS CHILDRENS HOSPITAL"
SATURDAY AUGUST 28th 10am-3pm, see flyer below
Well my friends I know most of us are in the ”Summer Time” mode,
Spending time with family and friends and of course “RACING” which
is a summer sport for the most part .I recently became aware of a Car Show
in Burbank Ca. It’s their 4thAnnual.Still somewhat “New” in event circles.
It is a Charity Event benefiting the Shriners Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles.
This event is being sponsord by the Burbank Masonic Lodge, location of the show.
I’m sure you all have seen the masons in the Rose parade riding around in their clown suits and go-carts and of course a major float every year wow’ing the millions in Pasadena every News Year Day on T.V. This is where I come in!
Some of you know my past fund raising success.
In the 80’s and 90’s I was The Chairman for a very successful event, The “Lowman and
Miller chili cook-off ”For “special needs Kids”, Handicapped, I don’t like that word really, 15 years ,In 1990 or so I brought in a car show to add to my event,
“Stormy” was the 1st person I contacted, He jumped in with both feet and we had 8 cars at the first combined event, he did his usual “Fire-ups” and wow’d the Crowds, we had 5000 people at that event, made a lot of $$ for our kids,Thanks again Stormy.That was just a start of combined events, we went a few more years with the same success and due to lack of participation from the parent groups and some corporate greed I stopped this Hugely successful event after 15 years.we were in the 6 figures.It broke my Heart, the only people that suffered was my kids. Since then I have been looking for an event that could benefit from my many years of experience in fund raising for “KIDS”, I have a very soft heart for kids who need special $$$$ Well this is the 1st since then, I have been holding back since my events, looking for just THEE right event, I thought I’d give this one a shot.It meets my credentials, Im friggin pickey who I give my time to.
That’s where YOU ALL come into the picture.
1st what I need is CARS!!! ALL KINDS!! Race cars, show cars,bikes, trailer cars, anything you can bring to show,mostly race cars,but Im not picky! It costs 20$ per entry, which goes to the kids of course, see entry form below.
2nd and most important, we are having an Auction, We need auction items badly,anything you can donate, Hats, Team T-shirts,oil,spark plugs,Team pictures,Anything Guys and Girls!!!! Anything!!!!!!!!! You Race Teams!! And I know who you are??? Give me a Tshirt, we all give this stuff away all the time, send it to me so “WE” can Help the Kids”
That’s what it’s all about! The Kids! You will be helping the Next generation.
I know times are tough, All I can give is my time, My time is free, Can you Help me help the kids? I wouldn’t ask anything more than I would do,Your car to show or whatever?
You make the call. Please post this letter of support for the kids anywhere you want, if you need to contact me PLEASE call 661-298-8408 24 hrs.All auction items will be announced on stage and I will personally give you and your team or company a BIG SHOUT-OUT to all in attendance.All Monies received go to the kids.
