The Rebels Auto Club in Lincoln, Nebraska are holding a raffle for the Josh Grimes Memorial Scholarship Project.  The prize is a 1986 Mustang GT convertible. Please click here to read about Josh Grimes, his battle with cancer that ended at the young age of 15, and the impact he had on others that inspired this project. 

 

Follow the link below to read the information that FEP member and project leader Tommy Bender has sent regarding the car and the raffle.   

From Tommy Bender, sprintfan25: 

 

Some of you might remember me working on this project (and some of you donated parts for the project - and again, thanks!) It's finally a go!

The raffle tickets for the Josh Grimes Memorial Scholarship Project are printed! You can buy one anytime! Proceeds go to the Josh Grimes Memorial Scholarship. The Raffle is being run by the Rebels Auto Club here in Lincoln. Here are the rules:

* Need not be present to win
* Winner has up to 90 days to claim prize
* Must be 19 years of age or older to participate
* Must have TIN or SSN and Photo ID
* Must sign a Release of liability, and accept auto as is
* Must pay all taxes and fees to title & obtain registration

In addition, we are not allowed to sell tickets over the internet, nor can we mail them. Sorry! You can buy them from any Rebels Auto Club member IN PERSON (and yes, I am a member).    

Other things of note:

Tickets are $10 each, and we printed 2500 tickets. All proceeds go to the scholarship fund.

The drawing will be on Sunday, Sept. 14th at Sid Dillon in Lincoln.  I'll post where the car is going to be every weekend up until then, so you'll know where to find us.  (I realize you're probably going to end up being pretty close to buy them - but thought the rest of you might like to know) Thanks!
