The annual Sunshine Kids cruise is WAAAAAAY short of cars this year and I thought I'd reach out to the Viper community to see if I could scrounge up a few more guys. The low-down is this:
Every year, Showcars for Kids puts on an annual event called the Sunshine Kids. Children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, who have been battling or who are battling cancer participate. Basically the sponsors bus the kids over to San Marcos and SURPRISE! There are a whole bunch of exotic cars waiting there for them to ride in! They file off the bus one-by-one and pick their respective rides, then we get a police ****** from San Marcos to the capital with NO other cars on the street except for us, including I35. The police shut down frontage roads, on-ramps and off-ramps and give these kids the VIP treatment. It's a blast!
Now, the bad news. It's Wednesday, June 11th. We're meeting in south Austin at 7am or in San Marcos at 8am. And they only have 20 cars signed up to take 34 kids.
I know it's short notice, but I just got an email from the event coordinator. If any Austin guys can make it out, or if any Houston, Dallas or San Antonio guys can take some time off, these kids would be eternally grateful.
If you have questions or want to sign up, contact Michael Marr at [email protected]. He'll need your full name, year, make, model and license plate of your car for you to drive.
I can't think of a better excuse to call in sick this week; make a kid's day, drive your Viper AND get a 20-mile police ****** to the Capital?! Please consider coming out, guys; thanks!
