[WPTA] PVGP 2020

Tue Sep 29 14:53:49 MDT 2020

Thanks, Curt, really appreciate it, but you shouldn’t do that… we don’t want to have that as even a notion of a habit. This will be a one-time thing in support of the PVGP!

Probably need to transition to Ricks's run somewhere prior to WVA rt 88.  I can easily send the directions for the first half of my run to whomever and then work with them on the transition, if needed.

Unfortunately, WPTA has already had two EXCELLENT driving events within the past month, which would have been a perfect opportunity to raise some money for PVGP.  We weren’t asked by PVGP to raise a large sum of money………just to raise what we could to keep things going for the PVGP charities.  The amount targeted by PVGP is something like $27,500 for the whole shebang.  Between Countryside Tour, which raised over $4,000 and events held by the Porsche, Mercedes and BMW clubs, quite a bit (relatively speaking) has already been raised.  Heck, the motorcycle guys even hosted a tour, using some of our Countryside Tour roads and raised some money for PVGP.  Then, they did it again on 9/19!

We could charge anywhere between, let’s say $25 and $50 per car and open it up to all of the other clubs which actively support & participate in PVGP.   We’d have to start organizing & planning IMMEDIATELY, to get it done in time to enjoy some good October driving weather, but I think we stand a very good chance of having a very successful event.

>> I hope you all are getting time to enjoy your British Cars and take in that the leaves are just beginning to turn for Fall!

>> As The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix didn’t happen this year, their committee is trying to find ways to continue to raise money for charitiy. Dan and Bob have been reaching out to all of the sub-committees to see if there is something they can do, to which PVGP would support marketing awareness, if necessary.

>> In lieu of a meeting, I have a few options to get your feedback:
>> 
>>  
>> 1. Donate nothing.
>> 
>> 2. Depending on funds, make a small contribution directly from WPTA to PVGP. It could understandably be considerably smaller than years past.
>> 
>> 3. Hold an event to generate donations. 
>> 
>>  
>> 1 and 2 are easiest/fastest. 
>> 
>> 3 holds some risks/challenges due to Pandemic/Social distancing restrictions, etc.

>> CALL TO ACTION: Please let me know your thoughts either by responding to this e-mail or contact me directly.
