We CAN do this, we MUST do this. Together we WILL do this
Administrative
Ok, folks, we have mentioned many times here how this site has brought us all together as a family of racers. As a family, we laugh together at the good times, and cry together when tragedy befalls one of our own. This post is about helping a family member.
The contributions made to Racers Reunion and to The Memory Lane Hall of Fame by our very own Jimmy Johnson can't be measured in dollars and cents. What Jimmy does in public relations would require a salary few corporations not in the Fortune 500 could afford. What Jimmy does for Racers Reunion he does for the love the organization, the sport, and for each one of us. Jimmy is family! At the moment Jimmy has a problem that would appear to some to be insurmountable. But this is Racers Reunion and we CAN and we MUST take care of this.
Most of you have probably heard that Jimmy's motorcoach blew a head gasket and the repairs to the unit are quite costly, coming in at about $3,500.00 I understand. The Coach is Jimmy's means of transporting our show car to events all over the country and keeping the Racers Reunion name in the eye of the public at those events. There is no better ambassador. The crux of this situation is this; we need to raise $2,000.00, like RIGHT NOW, to get the motorcoach out of the shop. I am, therefore, asking that each of you consider whatever contribution you can afford to that end. Please mail your checks, payable to Jimmy Johnson to:
Mr. Jimmy Johnson
c/o Mr. Michael W. Smith
102 Glen View Drive
Cherryville, NC 28021
Team South Carolina Midlands is putting the first check in the mail today. It won't be huge because our treasury is not that big, but it will be a start. So, please folks, consider this an urgent request because we need to get our ambassador on the road to Daytona by next Tuesday at the latest. Don't let this opportunity pass you by to do something really important for our brother Jimmy and for Racers Reunion. We want OUR presence in Daytona and the future events and that man is Jimmy Johnson.
PLEASE NOTE THAT JEFF GILDER HAS AUTHORIZED DONATIONS TO BE MADE THROUGH THE SITE ON PAY-PAL. COME ON FOLKS, LET'S GET THIS DONE. WE NEED OUR JIMMY IN DAYTONA. Click the "Donate" button in the upper lefthand area above the Forum area.
Let's do it! Thank you.
