Default Mr.Bill memorial NCM brick fund.

If you're following this thread https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ll-update.html you're probably up to date on what is going on. For anyone who isn't, in short. My father Mr.Bill Bill Karadimos passed away on Feb 27th of this year. He was an amazing person and had a lot of love to give to everyone he met. A couple members on here came up with the idea to set up a fund account for donations to get him a brick with his name on it and of course corvette forum put in at the National Corvette Museum. I went ahead with that and started a PayPal account. We can get him a medium size brick starting at $650 and a large brick is $2600. If you feel so inclined it would make our day to see this happen(and it will).

Please make donations on PayPal to kriznips@hotmail.com if you leave a name and address I would like to send a personal thank you.

If sent as a gift there is no fee.

Thank you for listening

I submitted my contribution to this great cause this morning.
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to participate in this process to create a small Corvette Memorial to Mr. Bill.
I look forward to visiting the museum in the not too distant future to see the new brick.

Thank you so much everyone. It's just amazing what is happening and makes me remember that there are still a lot of wonderful people left on this planet. Just from corvette forum alone we are less than $100 away from a medium brick. If I somehow make the $2600 we will get him a large brick, If we get anywhere close to that I will find a way to make up the remaining. But as of now it looks like he may be getting 2 medium bricks(one from the corvette forum, 1 from family/friends, and a small personal one with just his name and a c5 logo plus a copy to put next to his ashes. We've gotten a lot of love from everyone here and from my family and friends.

I'm overwhelmed with the amount of support from everyone. It literally makes my eyes water.

I can't thank you enough.

Kris,
Went to the NCM site and here's the online link for the $650 (non member price) brick. Is this what we're talking about getting?

http://store.corvettemuseum.com/detail.aspx?ID=778
Brick - Medium
MBRICK

Medium National Corvette Museum Brick (12" x 12") 16 characters maximum per line. Contact the NCM for special orders.

Please allow at least 6 weeks for custom orders to be completed.

Brick purchase is a non-refundable donation.
$600.00




Obviously this brick is just an example, and not what you'd put on it. I just want to know what you're getting. Shoot me an email, PM or FB message about how much more you need to get this done, OK?

Your Dad helped me a lot, and I'd like to make this happen for you asap.

Thanks!

Jim

How much is collected so far? are you going for the large brick yet? I hope so Mr Bill should have the large brick. If you need more for the large brick
i may be able to give more. It's property tax time and I am not one of the ballers on here. Just work for wages.
