This is such great news and I am smiling from ear to ear.”

Mr. Seppi, who in his free time enjoys swimming, biking, running, and playing tennis, retired as a high school computer literacy teacher in 2007. It wasn’t until he received a mailer for the 2012 Camaro Dream Giveaway that he decided to enter, “This is a dream come true,” Mr. Seppi said. “I have had an interest in performance cars since I was a child. I am also glad I was able to help benefit some wonderful children’s charities.”

Mr. Seppi along with his wife Nikki, will accept the amazing Grand Prize package in January, 2013 at Troy, Michigan at a ceremony to be held at Alternative Automotive Technologies.
