$23,066 from all generations of Corvettes just this past year for the U.S.M.C Toys for Tots Program says that this is C7 related. Nearly $95K overall. Why do you care if we help kids and their families?

It's not about C7 Corvettes (or C6 where it is also posted, etc), but about a car show!

I and our local Corvette owners hold "Chicago Cars for St. Jude" events, and are one of the largest contributors to the hospital. It is awesome to do that!

All I was nicely stating was the OP should follow forum rules and not post the same thread in multiple forums. Also he would garner more local attention on CF by posting in the correct regional section of the events forum.

Have a great day!

No kidding?

CF C7 is for general C7 Corvette discussion not covered in the C7 tech section, not about car shows.

There are thousands of car shows and other charity/non-charity events put on every year that CF members support. The regional forum sections are able to handle that amount of info without overwhelming the C7, C6, etc. forum's intended topics of discussion: those specific gen models.

I'm not a Mod so I don't care if they leave it here or move it to the correct forum where it will get more attention, probably attract more attendees, and raise more money for the charity. Just trying to help the OP out.

And you really believe that the C-7 forum is being overwhelmed by this post. ?

That's not what I stated, but argumentative types will persist to post crap.

And of course CF members should try and follow CF posting guidelines.

I think the OP was just trying to get the word out. Some folks here are not aware of the regional and car show threads, so posting this once in the "General" threads was just an additional way to get the word out. A single post will not comprise the rules to much. Thanks

I totally agree with your comment! I find it hard to find local events in my area.

jackhall99, I agree with your interpretation of the rules.

jaygood, just edit your original post to start with something like, "Check out the C7 on this flier!"
