2023 ROTATING CHARITY NOMINATIONS
It’s time to start thinking about helping your favorite charity. The Lone Star Corvette Club in collaboration with the Lone Star Corvette Classic, Inc. sponsors The Lone Star Corvette Classic that is used to raise monies for four charities: The National Corvette Museum and 3 "Rotating Charities" voted on by the LSCC membership.
In 2023 the LSCC board voted and determined to incorporate 3 non-profit organizations as the "Rotating Charities" to receive a portion of the silent auction proceeds generated during the Classic. Nominees and articles from the nominated organizations will be due by January 20th and published on the Website. Presentations from the nominated organizations will be part of the February Club Meeting agenda and online voting will take place thereafter.
Following the guidelines below will give your nominee the best chance of being selected. Please print a copy and share with your organization.
