UPDATE: POST 23


Greetings all fellow BMW Owners!
I was recently inspired to somehow give back to the community. So upon a lot of thinking, and remembering BMW's "The Ultimate Drive" campaign, I stumbled across an idea. I'm going to be organizing a Barbecue in Exeter, NH to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. I'm trying to get the word out as quickly as possible because I'm aiming for this to take place this upcoming May.

So here is some basic info:

Who: Everyone (excluding rice cars, but the people are still welcome :) )
What: A meet, to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Cancer Foundation
Where: RiteAid Parking lot, Exeter, NH
When: Saturday, (End of April, 2008)
Why: Because what is better than making people feel better?

I will keep you all posted!

Cheers!
-Fred

i'd be interested

Very nice I am definitely down for anything like this.

Navid (yod88) and I were going to do a cruise to benefit people with MS, since my mother has it. Should be this summer, just a heads up. :)

Im game.

im in

So meet at noon then cruise, or cruise to the meeting place?

I was thinking meet at the park, than eat, then cruise

lets roll

still trying to find a place to cruise to...

I'm going to go to the dealership tomorrow and ask them if they wish to partake in the events. There usually pretty cool about this kind of stuff. Plus theres a bunch of techs that are on the forums too.

oh and miller, i never got to tell ya, but i saw ur car at bavauto's show and shine and i was like :drool: ( <-- if its not clear, thats a drooling face)

Id be down.

I'm game :)

i'll cruise

Let's do it

This sounds interesting...


...but what are we trying to save? Will there be varying examples on display to observe and experience for ourselves? Its often easier to learn and understand through seeing and touching things in front of you. This is all helpful in getting a feel for what we're ....umm.... ...up against. :paranoid:

Another idea is we can get a group together to volunteer at a charity event or shelter for a day. We can bring an item (food or clothing) there and help them out. This will bring even more meaning to the cause. I am sure someone can find a place for us to do this.:)

So... You wanna feel and look at bewbies is what you are trying to say.

Maybe the boston bmwcca could do something like this. I'd like to spend a day with friends helping others...

what did they do at lime rock for the kids with food allergies? do what they did if it makes money for cause

I would like to drive up from Boston if I can make it...have a good BMW friend with another E46 in Exeter.

If I can help support a good cause by driving my car i'm in!!

i'm in when will it be held

Count me in.

UPDATE:
If anyone is still willing to come, I got RiteAid to sponsor this event. As of now, its going to be toward the end of April.
Stay tuned!

obviously this isn't happening now.correct

Did you get some bewbs to come?

haha tim
I emailed the SGK Foundation and they said basically that I couldn't do it because I couldn't use their name and logo without permission. So it looks like it's off :(

LOL selfish bastards. We're just a group of boobie loving individuals that don't want to see a single set of sweater puppies harmed. It's a shame that they don't see our devotion to their cause.

On a related note, is it too late to register to drive a new BMW in this years official cruise?

Think it's later in the year. I'll keep my eyes open for it. Definitely a great time.

What about finding another organization or just having a get together with an entry fee for a donation? /gotnothin

Sounds like a plan, but we definitely still need some fun bags in attendance. I'm sorry Blurr got them on my mind, and I'm beginning to think that it's a must for any event.

Didn't the dealer thing allready happen?
