I was approached by Concetta Anne McIntyre and her Daughter Maya McIntyre who is a representative for a local charitable organization VIDEA. She offered to attend my Mayfair meet and generously collect donations on behalf of her organization and also collect money to cover the cost of hosting the event. It was a very last minute decision with just a few days to prepare, however she was able to collect $400 in donations, $200 for her organization and $200 towards the event costs. I'm happy to announce that I will be making a total donation towards Videa of the entire $400 amount Maya collected.
BIG thank you to everyone who donated, the 1 booth Sponsor, Happy Endings who also Donated. Appreciate you all.
My next event will have some very minor entry fees, raffles and donations again to not only spread the love throughout our amazing community but to also cover the cost of hosting these events for all you car owners, enthusiasts and car lovers!
