San Antonio Man Known For His Kindness Wins Two Camaros

GRAVETTE, Ark. - Oct. 27, 2017 - PRLog -- The 2017 Camaro Dream Giveaway, a nationwide drawing sponsored by New Beginning Children's Homes, ended on September 26th, 2017. John Duron, age 66, from San Antonio, Texas, was the grand-prize winner.

Mr. Duron was awarded a 2017 Lingenfelter Signature Edition Camaro ZL1 and a 1967 Camaro. The grand-prize also included $35,000 towards the prize taxes.

Mr. Duron made a donation to enter the Camaro Dream Giveaway on August 24th, 2017, and little did he know it would end up being one of the best decisions he ever made.

On Friday, October 13, 2017—yes, Friday the 13th—he received the news via telephone that he had won the 2017 Camaro Dream Giveaway. "When I learned I had won it was just unbelievable,"he said. "It's crazy because I was never thinking: I hope I win; rather I was thinking: Where am I going to park the cars? I was thinking like I already had them. When I told my wife, she almost hit the ground."

Mr. Duron and his wife, Carmen, own Angeleve Ambulance and Transportation. "I feel great that my donation went to help some wonderful charities,"he said. "My wife and I are always trying to give back to the community in any way we can. One of the things my wife and I do is take one of our ambulances and drive to orphanages in the area and deliver toys. We have been blessed in our lives and we enjoy blessing others."

Mr. Duron has always had a passion for cars and the 1967 Camaro is one of his favorites. "When I was a teenager we use to cruise around in those cars so I am definitely excited to take the 1967 out for a drive once I get it home,"he said. "There are a lot of spots in San Antonio on Friday and Saturday nights where classic cars get together so I plan on taking my new toy to one of those events."

Mr. Duron will attend the 2017 Camaro Dream Giveaway award ceremony on November 8, 2017, in Clearwater, Florida. The public is welcome to attend.
