Benefit Help Requested

Gary Smith · 02-05-2009, 01:32 PM

After watching my daughter go through another operation and explaining to her there are those in worse shape, ironically one such case happens to land in my lap today. I have never led nor coordinated any form of a benefit, but figured this forum would be a good place to start.

There is a 6 year old girl in my area who is fighting an aggresive form of cancer. Unfortunately the staggering costs for treatments and surgical procedures have stretched the family resources. Two local car clubs are staging a benefit car show on Feb. 21st to raise some money to ease at least a small portion of the financial burden. But they'll need more help.

Being there are 2 simultaneous events taking place this weekend (Immokalee IHRA div, Pomona NHRA) I wanted to get the word out as quickly as possible and am looking for input on how to rally as many sportsman racers together as possible and see what we can do to help. Perhaps shoepolish notes on rear windows at Pomona to get spectator attention?

Please share your thoughts. In the meantime I'll contact the appropriate parties to discuss privacy issues and such so I can post further details and contact information.
