The Riding With Us Foundation announces Fundraiser for their '68 Chevy C10 charity build

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Dec. 9, 2014 - PRLog -- The Riding With Us Foundation is raising funds to complete its first auto restoration project.  The restoration of a 1968 Chevy C10 Pickup is being done by a group of students from automotive high school in Brooklyn, NY. Once complete this truck will be sold at auction and the proceeds will be awarded to these students in the form of scholarships.

The majority of the students involved with this restoration are seniors, so the timing on completing this build has become critical. This fundraiser is being held to ensure the build will be finished this winter, and the truck will be on the auction block this coming spring.

This restoration is being done as an after school activity at Automotive High School. Student participation is completely voluntary, and most students joined the program because they wanted to be part of a restoration from start to finish. So far the build has been made possible with support via parts donations but at this point monetary donations are needed to bring this build to a close.

The Riding With Us Foundation is fundraising now until December 15^th via www.fundly.com/68chevy.  Special gifts of gratitude such as t-shits, travel mugs, and special tours of the build are being offered, depending on the donation level, during this fundraising drive.  After the 15^th donations will still be accepted at www.ridingwithus.com/contribute.  The Riding With Us Foundation is a recognized 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, all donations are tax deductible.
