MMAC Banner at the Spring Drive
Hello Chicagoland MINI friends!!!
The MINIs Motoring Against Cancer banner will be making a stop at the CMMC Spring Drive on MAR 9th. click link for original thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...05#post2050405
Donations will be accepted for the American Cancer Society in honor of my friend and BRG buddy MiniShagz (see link below)
http://main.acsevents.org/goto/MMAC_MiniShagz
Tom's year long battle with multiple myeloma is going well, but it's not over yet. With his blessings, he's allowed me to honor him in this small way and to raise awareness of the ongoing fight against cancer. I'm inspired by his courage and determination throughout this whole ordeal, I hope you will be too.
If you plan on attending the Drive, I encourage you to donate online before 3/9. Likewise, I will accept checks made out to the American Cancer Society. All contributors will get to sign the banner before it makes it's next trip to AMVIV courtesy of AllBlack05S. Can't make the drive?? that's ok, I'll put your name on the banner for you if a donation is received online.
*** UPDATE ***
Chicago Indoor Racing (CIR) has donated four (4) "Arrive & Drive" passes that will be raffled off at the Drive. Proceeds will be donated towards the MMAC fundraiser.
Passes will be raffled off individually. Raffle Tickets will be sold at the beginning, first rest stop and before the drawing at lunch. Cash accepted for tickets - $1 each, 8 for $5, 15 for $10.
please note: this fundraiser is NOT a CMMC sponsored or endorsed activity. I'm doing this in the spirit of charity, hope and friendship for Tom and everyone else touched by cancer...

You guys absolutely rock! I'm pretty much have been moved to tears over this. There has been on goal since I was stricken with this, is that I wanted something good to come out of it. There has been plenty, but this is fantastic. I'm just sorry that I can't make drive with the CMMC and the MM, because I'd be motoring with the best!
Thanks a million!
Thanks a million!

So the MMAC banner has been handed off to AllBlack05S (Eric & Noreen) and is awaiting a nice looong trip to AMVIV in a few weeks.
First, I just want to say a big, HUGE, thank you to everyone who contributed! you've definitely shown what a great MINI community we have in the IL/WI area. I hope everyone who contributed had the opportunity to sign the banner.
Second, my goal was to raise $1000. An ambitious goal for sure, especially in such a short amount of time (1 week). As of this post we've raised $990.00 for the ACS! Imagine what we could do with a little more time!
Third, and most important, it was really great to see Tom (MiniShagz) and his brother at the Drive today. We're pulling for you big guy!!
Thanks again everyone! It's not too late to add to the total, click on the link in the first post to donate today
