FinishLine... again & again AND again.
Finish Line..you know FinishLine don't you? Paula and Enzo? This is almost embarrassing. You know sponsors don't usually come easy for us. We call, we write, we hound, we beg, we plead, and if that doesn't work I get on my knees and simply make a fool out of myself for Jenny and the Fling.
Well, Paula and Enzo just take all the fun out of my fundraising attempts! I just never get a chance to do any of the above. Last week, just another day at the shop. UPS comes in, like they do everyday, only this time there is an unsolicited package from FinishLine. No begging, no pleading, not even a cajoling phone call! The box is of course full of Cobra items-no note, no message
just parts. Of course we use FinishLine for a lot of our own Cobra builds. I holler at my partner Jay, and ask him what the hell did he order all this stuff for since all our on line Cobras are past the stage of needing these parts and pieces. Of course he has no idea what I am talking about.
I then start looking for the bill of lading, NOTHING! I look inside, take everything out and still no bill! OK, Ol' DV didn't get off the boat yesterday, I turn the box upside down and inside out, still no bill! It finally dawns on me that Paula and Enzo were way ahead of me! Yes, this very large box, loaded to the point of bulging was donated items for the Fling...just to benefit a very sick little girl named Jenny. No cajoling took place, no pleading, not even a simple phone call asking for their help. It just came...as always.
Paula, Enzo, The Mrs. and I thank you so much for your help. Jenny thanks you for your support and of course not only "our" Cobra Family thanks you but, "your" Cobra family thanks you.
DV...there would be no DVSF without the help of all of you!
