VEHICLES NEEDED! With the car industry changing and millions fewer cars being sold, the number of cars being donated also has gone down. Wheels of Success has compensated for this shift in the economy by providing more repairs for working families; however, we now are scrambling to meet our goal of giving away 20 vehicles to transportation-challenged families on Monday, September 7th. We are asking for your help to meet our ambitious Labor Day event goal.
WATCH FOR THE LABOR DAY RACE TRACK to be added to our home page soon. You will be able to follow our progress in gathering 20 vehicles and, on average, $1,000 for repairs to each. Let’s join hands across the Tampa Bay area to accomplish this goal. Perhaps your workplace matches employee donations to charitable organizations. Please help us in our efforts on behalf of Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas County working families struggling to stay employed as a result of transportation challenges in tough economic times.
REMEMBER THAT WE OFFER THE GREATEST TAX DEDUCTION ALLOWED BY LAW, AND DONATED VEHICLES NEED NOT BE RUNNING. AAA Auto Club South GRACIOUSLY PICKS UP DONATED VEHICLES AT NO CHARGE.
FORM A WINNERS' CIRCLE
If you and nine friends each give $100, your group will cover the cost of repairs for one of the 20 give-away vehicles on Labor Day. Each of you will get a photograph of the happy recipient with the vehicle you helped to repair. It can be very rewarding to see the facial expression of a local, working individual whose life was improved by YOU. Can't find enough people to complete a circle? Call 813/490-9443; we can help!
