Default DFASTEST951 car going for $100

I've sent this to John D. and I'm just waiting for him to put administative posts up to every forum here. He's extremely busy and I'm sure he will but I need to start this so here we go. You guys first. Spread the word. A link is being made as we speak to the Powerhaus website that will look exactly like this with many pics of the car and a paypal system for credit card users. It will be up by tomorrow morning. I'll post it then. I have the same pics in the system here but don't know how to post them. Good luck and spread the word.

My name is Joe Cervantes. On Nov. 14, 2000, a new member was born into our family. I had a new baby brother. He was born with a treatable heart condition. On Jan. 10, 2001, he passed away. This has absolutely devastated my family and particularly my Father and his wife. In memory of my little brother, I have decided to donate my car to two non profit charity organizations. The car is going to be raffled with proceeds to be shared by both charities. Ticket are $100 each and 7000 is the limit. Drawing to be held December 22. Put this on your Christmas List. I have arranged for all rennlisters to have the first opportunity to support this cause. I have never met a better group of people devoted to all things Porsche. Should one of you you win, I will hand over the title confident that my car will go to a good home. I have also arranged to donate $1000 to John D. and the list if 3000 tickets are sold through here and $1000 for every thousand sold thereafter as a result of your help to a total of $5000 if we reach our goal of 7000 tickets sold through rennlist. That is 3500 tickets between two well deserving charities. Just write rennlist on your ticket. Since the tickets are tax deductible, this is a win-win situation for all. Thank you for your generosity and good luck!

The Foundation for Positively Kids is a local Las Vegas based non-profit dedicated to developing services that can provide comprehensive care for Nevada's medically fragile and terminally ill children. The foundation along with the medical community has identified critical needs for the development of special programs and facilities designed to care for these children and their families.

Sandy-Mesquite Valley Educational Foundation was created to serve Keystone Academy Charter High School. This Charter High School reaches at-risk kids who were dropping out at the rate of 80 percent when they were required to go into Las Vegas high schools. After four full years, Keystone is graduating these kids and the drop-out rate has plummeted to less than 13 percent. Many of these at-risk teens are now attending college. Keystone has been constantly dogged by financial challenges. The greatest one now is to expand to accommodate growing education needs. This school receives no funding from Clark County School District, which is its charter sponsor.

Well DFASTEST you may not be the 'TheFastest' any longer but you definitely have become 'TheMan' in my books.

Best Wishes on your endeavour!



P.S Is this open to non U.S residents? IF so I will purchase a ticket in a heartbeat....

Thanks Streckfu's051.
emwporsche, you don't have to be a rennlist member. but since you saw it here and if you tell anyone about it and they buy, you and they should write rennlist anywhere on your mail in so rennlist gets credit for their donation.

Hi Joe,

I didn't know of your loss and my deepest condolences go to you and your family.

I hope and expect that this amazing act of generosity gets the support that it deserves.

Karl.

This is a very generous act, I hope this effort is fully successful. Let us know when tickets are available.

And BTW, 200k spent on this car is incredible to say the least, it must be total blast to drive.

God speed.
