On March 20th of 2006 we were in the early stages of disassembling our first vehicle, a '67 Ford Mustang. Howard W., one of our members, decided to donate his gorgeous '61 Vette. With a sense of urgency we spent most of 2006 learning how to successfully partner with a charitable organization, conduct a vehicle raffle and generate publicity. "Rocked our world" is an understatement for impact Howard's extreme generosity had on us.
The Vette raffle was a smashing success: it generated over $84,000 for the House of Hope, a Honduras charity committed to help educate and assist orphaned and abandoned teen-aged girls. In between selling raffle tickets we studied the Bible, came together as a team, and took a step forward in our walk with God.
Here's a few artifacts to capture the moment...
