Thread: SoCal Fun Day on the Runway!

Good Day to all!

Alright, as some of you know I am in the Marine Corps and I am stationed on Camp Pendleton.

The Marine Corps Ball is coming up for my unit and we are doing a lot of fundraising to get the price of our tickets down to a much lower price or free for the lower ranks, that will be attending. As of right now, the tickets are $100 a person and we need to get this number lower otherwise a lot of the junior Marines will not be able to attend the great festivities that the Marine Corps Ball has to offer them.

My plan for a fundraiser is what it states in the title; a "SoCal Fun Day at the Runway."

The plan is to have 2 lane drag races down the runway.


Here are some of the ideas that have been brought up for the day so far:

Who: TBD.

When: Saturday, 7 July 2012 (Tentative Date)

Where: MCAS Camp Pendleton, CA

Why: To support our Military and help the Marines of my unit to have a successful Marine Corps Ball.

How: As of now I need names and a phone number, so I can create a list and submit it to my bosses to get this approved.

Cost: Donation of at least $50 per car




This is still in the very beginning stages of planning and I would love any and all support from anyone in the area!

I will be contacting a few motorsport companies in the area to see if they would like to come up and set up a tent so you can see some of their gear or parts.

Please send your contact info to my email: map2_photo@yahoo.com

If you have any ideas or would like to help in the planning process please let me know, as I know I will only be able to handle some of this on my own.

Lucky for me I can work with the Military side a little easier than the Civilian side.

So basically an open airstrip for us to burn rubber on?

That's the goal. I'm getting interest right now and next Friday I bring in all the info and proof of interest to push it up and hopefully get it approved. The fact that it is this far is good since I have interest from others in the command.

Bump!

markpetersonii, I think you could charge more than $45. Good luck with the fundraiser, and thank you for your service.

Yeah, I'm sure I could. I just don't want to go too high. I think I might bump it to $50. We'll see who is interested in it by the time I introduce the idea to my command next Friday.

Thanks for your support!

That's pretty cool! Funny thing is I just ran a photo shoot event at Point Mugu NAS to help raise money for the Wounded Warrior Fund last weekend. I'd love to help you out! I'll shot you and email but here's mine: Josh@MClub.La Thanks for your service to this great nation of ours!

Seems awesome. I'd be down.

Awesome guys thanks. Emailed you back Josh.

I'm down for this event as well.
