Saturday, July 31st Benefit Run for Tampa Police Officers Killed

This will be a 100% benefit gathering. This will be in Honor of the 2 Tampa Police Officers that were killed in the line of duty. ALL proceeds will benefit these 2 families. Buffalo Wings and Rings has graciously agreed to allow the use of their parking lot, and will donate 10% of all guest checks (including adult beverages) to the Donation Fund. This location is about 3 minutes off I-75 at exit 179. It will be Saturday 7/31/2010 from 12:00pm till 3:00pm, The food is awesome and this is for a great cause. All VW owners, Air and Water Cooled are welcome to display. We will collect $10 per car, with 100% going to the Donation Fund. Additional donations will be welcomed. While you are here, you are just a few minutes from Charlotte Harbor, so make it a day to remember. We are calling everyone out, Fort Myers, Tampa, Miami, Central Florida and the east coast, there are plenty of VW's out there, so lets all show our support for this cause, RAIN or SHINE. If there are any questions you can email Ron at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

If you can Download and print Fliers to pass out, Thanks

We'd love to show our support. It depends on what time its held and what time I get off work.

Sounds good to us

Ughh I cant make it I am taking my daughter up to st. Augustine that weekend. I hope that the event turns out nice and that you guys are able to raise a lot of money.

I don't work saturday... So we should be there.

Working but good luck, hope you have a great turn out

Thanks for the responses. Still looking for more, so I can give them a heads up, on whether they will need to add a couple of people in the restaurant. I am also emailing channel 10 news, to maybe get some more info out. There are a lot of folks trying to help these families out. With that also brings the scammers. We will be forwarding 100% of ALL FUNDS to the families. We can all feel great, for participating in a worthwhile Cruise-In. Also, I am thinking about cruising around Port Charlotte and North Port afterward. Instead of hanging out in a parking lot, I think it would be sick to see a ton of VW's running around. I am Psyched for this.

Anyone else thinking about going from the Tampa area? It would be cool to have a convoy riding down there!

We are in

Stuka will be there.

Im in

This is great to hear from all of you guys, lets keep it going. I just secured a DJ for the event. DJ Gary G. a local Professional, has offered his time, (as a donation). This will also be announced on 107.9 wsrz, during the next 2 Saturday Night Cruise IN hours with Candy Girl. If anyone is going to Plant City tomorrow, it would be greatly appreciated if some of the fliers got printed, and given out. I will be dropping some off at Mike's VW repair, in Bradenton. Thanks again for getting the word out. Also, are you guys gonna try to convoy down?

talking with a few folks to convoy down. working out the details.

ok here is a plan. for the folks that want to convoy down. meet in parking lot of steak n shake 5917 E. hillsborough ave. leave out at 9:30 sharp!!!!!! if you would like to convoy please show up. this should be an easy location for our north and east family members to find. as for our south members if you would like to jump in as we work our way south PM me or someone that is coming down a contact phone number and we will let you know where we are so you can join in. i think this should be easy enough for everybodyif not we will see you there. we will be cruising not trying to break any land speed records lets enjoy the ride.
