Since October marks national cancer awareness month, what better place to hold our monthly Mavs & Mochas than at the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) headquarters in Frisco, TX. If you are not already aware, NBCF is one of the five charity organizations supported by the Maverick Region - Porsche Club of America.
The morning of October 9 kicked off early with a 7:00 am photo shoot of 13 female MAV members and their wonderful cars. It was only appropriate that the morning sunrise provided us with some beautiful pink clouds and blue skies. As scientific as my tabulation system is, I was able to count 110 Porsches in the lot. Great turnout by all! And, exciting to see a new Lava Orange 992 GT3 amongst the field. Thinking we need to offer a valet service for our future M&M events . . . wink, wink ��
Of course, the highlight of the day was the effort put fourth by the “Dream Team” staff at NBCF to manage this great charity event. A special shout out needs to go to Kevin Hail, President and COO; Janelle Hail, Founder and CEO; and Ashley Miller, Director of Public Relations, for their support. As usual, our amazing members demonstrated their incredible generosity with pre-registration donations of $2,780 and same-day cash donations of $831. An addition $1,753 was committed to by the Maverick Region for a total of $5,364. Mavs also lined up and donated their time to create some wonderful gift boxes for well-deserved breast cancer patients. A special thanks also goes to Deborah Gasper Jewelry for donating 20% of her sales from the day’s event.
Thank you to Jimmy Gallegos, John Cuyler, Bill Kruder, Matt Wilson, and Mike McHorse for helping to put on this
fantastic charity event! See everyone for our next M&M event on November 13 at 1418 Coffee (2660 Belt Line Rd, Garland, TX).
