I cant tell you guys enough how wonderful it was to help these kids out. Most of our club activities revolve around racing and rally driving and When MTCowboy suggested this event I was very excited to participate. We all worked hard and pulled together the gift bags by using our contacts from Auto stores, Racing Parts suppliers, Race tracks, Suppliers, and friends. And of course called in a huge favor from GM that really made a huge difference by getting the hats. The Denver Police Department also sent the Drag team and their Corvette to lead us across town. The folks at the Hospital were great and broke us into three groups and toured us thru the different floors where we had a chance to visit with parents and kids. Some kids were in isolation so we left bags for when they get better. Funny story about one little boy. He was up on the parking deck waiting for us when we arrived. We was told that he had been pestering the nurses all morning asking if we were there yet. Finally the nurse could not take it any longer and took him up to wait for us. He spent the entire day with us.. Great kid and a future Camaro Owner no doubt. There will never be another day that will duplicate the efforts of this day for us that were in attendance. For the clubs that wish to do this in the future....It can be very simple. The kids love coloring and you can get online coloring books and have a few pages copied at Kinkos. Ask for a discount because of the event and you will probably get one. Crayons were ordered right from Crayola in the 4 packs like at resteraunts. 360 packs for something like 90 bucks. Stickers can be from many different sources. Police Depts, Fire Depts, auto parts and racing shops. But what the kids really enjoyed was a visit and a smiling face. Fact is that parents get worn down with the stress of having thier child sick and a new smiling face made all of them forget their problems for a few hours. Then the cars. It gave everyone from staff to patients something to do for a few hours. I have a few pics on my phone I will download and post as well.
Kudos to Don for spearheading this whole event. Larry

Thanks for the kudos, Larry. And kudos to you and everyone else who helped.
It would be nice to have the resources to do this every couple of weeks. There would be a whole new bunch of kids (and parents) there needing a smile of encouragement.

Pct1theory · 09-20-2009, 10:19 PM

Wow, that was a real awesome thing to do.

mr_desmo · 09-20-2009, 10:35 PM

so incrdible i think i would be more nervous then the kids, id tell them while putting it in neutral push as hard as you can, and ask em what they whant me to do for them (would it be a f*cking big burnout that cost 800$ or to slide as long as i can ill do it)
It feels so go that a lot of people have the heart where it shoul be...

So an immense UP for all the member that gave time , affection, love, for that special day...man youre the great ones, hope you feel good!

Thanks MTNCWBY for putting this event together. We were very happy to be able to participate. It was awesome to see the kiddo's eyes light up. Just let us know if you guys plan on doing this again and we will be happy to bring "BUMBLE BEE" up to Denver again.

Spooker_Doodles · 09-20-2009, 10:42 PM

Wow. That is very impressive guys. Good job to all. Should motivate others to put something like this together elsewhere.

Zee28rs72 · 09-20-2009, 10:50 PM

Nice, No doubt you all made a lot of children smile that day that would not have had any reason to smile. Very nice.

2010 SS RS · 09-20-2009, 11:12 PM

Here are a few more pictures off my phone...enjoy...I know we did!

Now that is what I am talking about...did you see that last kids smile. He is being treated for luekemia. He actually was bit by a spider and while being treated for that it was found that he has luekemia. He is currently undergoing chemo and the hat came in pretty handy for him. Bet he will have some stories for Mom and Dad when they come visit. You all have a great day....
