Thanks to all of you who sponsored bays, bought tickets, or bid on auction items at Saturday’s 2024 DRIVE WITH ONRAMP fundraiser. With your help, we raised over $42,000 in profits, exceeding our goals and ensuring we remain on track to gift reliable vehicles and a year of free maintenance to FIFTY new client families in 2024!
Your generosity in 2023 enabled us to serve 44 clients with 63 dependent children in their homes who now have access to jobs, school, church, doctor, the grocery store. They are on the path towards self-sufficiency because of you!
We are excited to report that our 182nd client will join their ranks this Thursday when she receives the 2013 Honda Odyssey that was parked on the front walkway at BigShots! She and her kids are about to get a huge HELP-UP thanks to you all.
Special thanks are owed to our amazing sponsors for this event. For the second year running, Bock Realty led the charge as our Platinum Sponsor and College Station Mercedes followed as our Gold Sponsor. We are also so grateful to our Silver Sponsors, StyleCraft Builders, EOS - Randy McDougal, and the Bolin and Rogers families, and all of our Bronze Sponsors. Thank you also to Fries Financial Services for their generous matching gift of $4,000 towards the silent auction. Since the auction raised over $4,000, the entire match is ours!
The surprise of the night was welcoming dozens of walk-ups who just so happened to come to BigShots for a night of fun without realizing we’d rented the place out. They purchased tickets at the door and got to learn about OnRamp while driving golf balls.
We would be remiss not to thank the Lord for perfect weather! Just two days earlier we had torrential rains. But His timing was perfect.
If you are able to give even more towards our vital mission of sharing the grace of God though the gift of reliable transportation, please visit our GIVE page to make a one-time or recurring donation. Your generosity is the fuel in our tank that keeps this ministry running!
