Chicago Cars for St. Jude
Corvettes, Cars, and Coffee has become Chicago Cars for St. Jude!
We are expanding the meet and greet to include ALL cars and hopefully expand the base for donations to St Jude. We currently have Straightline performance, The Car Cave, McHenry Harley Davidson, Chicago 5th Gen Camaro, and I am working on a local Forum sponsoring dealership. We will be doing fewer events, but Bigger events! If you have a business that would like to sponsor us in any way PM me. I am looking for a food vendor to work with us at these events. I am also seeking donations of Speed equipment, Tires, Accessories, Computers ( New) even used cars to auction off at the events. All proceeds will go to St. Jude and be counted as part of the Corvette Forum total. I will have tax letters available for larger contributions. We have a web site under construction and will host pictures and promote our sponsors. If you know any local car club who would be interested in helping or attending any of the events, share this link. Our goal for 2014 is $20,000. We raised $9,600.00 last year. That was almost 10% of the Corvette Forum total. Houston Texas was last years biggest forum contributor, I want to show those Texas folks how we roll!
Again, thanks for your support, be proud of what you did last year and let's have some fun and help some kids in 2014!
You can donate on line now at www.mycruisinforstjude.org/Chicago
This is the direct link to the Corvette Forum donation page at St Jude and we will get credit for the donations. Plus we will get you the 2014 St Jude avatar. Make sure you put your Forum name in the donation info so we know who you are and PM me so I make sure to get the mods to update!

Karen B. will have a check for you. She had a poker party and set an envelope on the bar for donations and I think everyone threw what ever poker money they had left in the envelope.

If you donate to the Corvette Forum, you can donate on our page and give the credit for the donation to Chicago Cars for St Jude. The donations still go to Corvettes for St. Jude (Corvette Forum) and you will still get the St. Jude 2014 Avatar. Thank you for your support!

We are definately doing another event with Nick. I hope to combine a Dyno day and Car show for ALL cars together as a fund raiser for St Judes. That should draw a crowd to the new shop!
