For Evan…..
We are proud sponsors of CorvetteForum and CorvetteBlogger. Important that we spread the word and share this.
Evan Thomason was 10 years old when he lost his battle against cancer on September 22. While the medical and research staff at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was not able to save Evan, they managed to give him five years he might not have otherwise had with family and friends.
With the blessing of his mom Melissa, Corvette Forum will dedicate its fundraising efforts for St. Jude during the next year to the memory of Evan, who touched so many people with his courage, positive attitude and joy for living. Some of you had the chance to meet Evan and Melissa when you visited Memphis for the annual Corvetteforum visit to St. Jude, others know about him from what they have read about Evan on Corvette Forum.
For those who didn’t know Evan, this video will give you some insight.

Over the last few weeks I have had several members ask when we are going to get started—so here we go. Thanks to our forum members and vendors last years donations totaled $80,304. Over the last nine years, CorvetteForum members have managed to raise over $580,000 for the children of St Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Here are the donations for the past 9 years:
2003: $23,500
2004: $23,800

Please put your forum name on the memo line of the check.
Option 2: Paypal account: corvettes4stjude@gmail.com. Look for the “GIFT” option as fee’s will not be charged. Please add your user name with payment.
Important Tax Deduction Info:
Using options one or two will get you a receipt from St. Jude for tax purposes. Paypal will not. And please remember to list your forum name on any donation so that we can give your St. Jude Donor 2012 tag, and for record keeping. Posting in the thread also assists us.
Thanks again for nine successful years helping save the children of St. Jude, and children all over the world. I invite any member to assist in this fundraiser by conducting local events to help raise money. Click here for more info on St. Jude.
