PVGP – Another Special Year Planned for 2016
- Last night at the RedCARpet Premier of Pittsburgh’s Intl Auto Show, PVGP presented a donation check to AVS & Autism Society of Pittsburgh for $400,000 – a NEW Record! Congrats to PVGP and all of you for making it all happen and helping change the lives of so many in ways you could never possibly imagine.
- PVGP Chair Ed as you know helped sell the Joplin 356 for a record $1.7M in December due to his endless promotional efforts of the car he was able to get for the PVGP last year. Not one to rest on his laurels, he’s finishing the final touches for ARPCA PVGP 2016 Party but safe to say it will be another special year. Watch Rundschau and the website for full details.
- One special thing helping ARPCA raise funds for PVGP in 2016 is a panoramic painting by artist Linda Barnicott (yes, of the renowned “Meet Me Under Kaufmann’s Clock” work). Jay & Lisa Malobicky have been outlining ideas w/ Linda for well over a year and landed on a one of a kind piece to commemorate ARPCA at PVPG. A quick black & white sketch of concept is below but contact Jay directly for more details on how YOUR Porsche could be included in this exceptional piece of art and how to get a copy to hang in YOUR home:
