Thanks to Leo Dougherty and the Fountainview Estates car show this past Saturday...
Another successful car show and fund raiser (Fountainview Estates 2nd annual car show) for our local Fisher House at the James A. Haley VA Hospital in Tampa, FL. We set a goal of $1,000. I think we raised $627 last year. We didn’t quite reach the $1,000 mark this year but we did raise $888. Thanks to the following people: Paul Figoni for making the show happen this year and last year, his assistant Jerry, community manager Steve Foligno and his Cal-Am Properties staff, the band Arlington Road, the residents of Fountainview Estates, and most of all to all the owners who brought their beautiful cars to the show. We were pleased last year to have 41 cars. This year there were 56 cars. Special thanks also goes out to our Fountainview neighborhood watch for directing traffic and making the journey in smooth for the show cars.

Every dollar that was raised will be directed to our local Fisher House in Tampa. Paul Figoni asked that those of us who served in the military come forward for recognition by the crowd. It’s always an honor to be recognized and this one was special because we were all there to help our local Fisher House continue to provide free room and board to families of those active duty military and veterans who are undergoing long term in-patient treatment for serious injuries. The VA hospital in Tampa is a nationally known poly-trauma center so patients from around the country suffering from trauma may very well be treated here.



PS, a donor added $120 and we DID reach the $1,000 mark!
