When
doing a world class event such as One Lap of America, I
decided several years ago to leverage this awesome experience to the
benefit of a great charity. The lives of many of our friends have
been touched by Cancer and especially Breast Cancer. Shane Lintner
of Mount Joy and I (both members of the Lancaster County Corvette
Club) will compete in the 2015 One Lap of America. A major part in
this effort will be raising money for the Pa. Breast Cancer
Coalition. Stickers with the Pink Breast Cancer ribbon will be placed
on the car for each donation of $10 or more, and can be “In Honor
of”, “In Memory of”, or you can put your own name on to show
your support of the Breast Cancer Coalition. We receive many
donations of $10 but also many of higher amounts too. Please
consider a generous donation to help us meet our goal of $3,000 this
year.
This
will be Jim’s 7th
One
Lap of America and he has raised over ten thousand dollars for the
Breast Cancer Coalition over the last few years. Make a donation and
you can ride along “vicariously” (with your name on the car) on
the trip and help a great cause at the same time. The Pa. Breast
Cancer Coalition, celebrating its 22st
Anniversary
in 2015, represents, supports and serves breast cancer survivors and
their families in Pennsylvania through educational programming,
legislative advocacy and breast cancer research grants. The PBCC is a
statewide non-profit organization that creates the hope of a brighter
tomorrow by providing action and information to women with breast
cancer today.
To
make a donation and get a sticker on the car, stop in at the store or
send to Jim Roberts, % West Main Auto, 14 W. Main St. Mount Joy, Pa.
17552 along with who to name on the sticker. Please make all checks
payable to Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition or PBCC for short. You can
also visit http://www.pabreastcancer.org/ and donate by using your
credit card. Just click on Donate and follow the instructions. Be
sure to fill in One Lap of America when asked for title of event.
I
am also looking for a few volunteers who are sympathetic to the
breast cancer cause and would like to be a "Captain" to
help collect funds from friends, neighbors, co-workers etc, I can
provide you with a kit including donation sheets and other helpful
items. Please email me at jimbobcorv@comcast.net
or my cell is 717-527-0110.
To
help follow the adventure, I have a blog at
onelapadventure.blogspot.com and have added a Facebook page, Jim's
One Lap Adventure. If you go to the Facebook page and “Like” the
