Do a good deed for a sick child- Frenchtown NJ
 

Mild weekend coming up... why not show your car off and help make a special young boy's day!

Hello to all car enthusiasts. You have an opportunity to help a car loving child with what could be his last birthday. We're sending this to help eleven year old Stephen Schully of Frenchtown NJ. Stephen has SMA type 1, a condition that has rendered him in a wheelchair with limited to no movement. SMA (Spinal Muscle Atrophy) is an affliction that often when diagnosed in baby’s limits life to 2 years. Stephen loves life and is also an avid car fan.

We are looking for a minimum of 10 cars to attend his birthday party on Sunday, January 13th. The time is from 4-6pm at the Baptistown Baptist Church at 1040 County Road 519, Baptistown, NJ (setup for the party will be at 3:30). We'd love for some of the car community to come together and give Stephen a great birthday.

Thank You.

I'll be in Atlanta, or I'd be there in a heartbeat. Regardless, I'll be posting this everywhere.

I've seen a few of such events before. Is there some sort of general mailing list we/I can get onto that you know of? Either way, keep the events like this coming!

i can't make it, but I'll post it at nastyZ too.

Would really like to do this. Going to see if I can move my schedule and attend this with the TA.

FYI it's a MAX of 10 cars, and they already have 5 thanks to yours truly.

Ha. Nice. Mind if I reply to the lady who sent me the email giving your name?

First post says min 10 cars. Is it min or max 10?

Absolutely not, go ahead.

Email rec'd said MAX.

Good info. Thanks!

You guys are the ****.


I genuinely wish I had something worthy to bring out there--This project jackstands club is getting old.


Good on you guys, BLS & Nick.

Doing my best to make it but I had this Sunday pretty well booked. Sounds like they will hit the number of cars fairly easily but I would still like to attend if there is room and I can get my schedule freed up.

let me know if you need anyone else

Cops ended up limiting it to 3 cars.

i wondered how it turned out, weather never cleared like it was suppose to.

How can the police limit who shows up to a birthday party?

same way they can tell us not to smoke whatever plant we choose to?

Not so much.

Sure it is. There are tons of silly laws and things that cops do that make no sense. Plants are no more harmless than a 5 year olds birthday party :D

Show wasn't held at the person's house, as the first post suggests.

What?!

Oh, I see, the police now dictate who can show up to a church that is hosting a birthday party! I guess they also say who can worship at said church too. :bertstare:

Wow that's pretty harsh, especially considering the event and who it was for.

This doesn't need to go down that road. Let's keep a classy thread classy.

Did anyone make it out there? Did it end with Stephen enjoying himself?

We do not need to turn this into a police bash thread. His parents may have asked to only have a set number of cars so it would not turn into a zoo with a lot of strangers at a child's birthday party.

I emailed questioning how it went and if it was a success for Steven. Will report back when I hear something. I don't believe anyone I know ended up going due to the extreme limitations.
