2011 Rodders Reunion Donation Presented

Larry Nolan and his daughter Kelly present the 2011 Memphis Rodders Reunion contribution to Potentate G. W. Percival during the Al Chymia Shriner's annual Hamburger dinner this past Wednesday evening. This year the donation came to $14,500, and helps to fund the transport of burn victims to Shriner's Hospitals specializing in the treatment of critically burned patients.
Each time a critically burned patient requires air-lifted transport to a burn center, the cost typically exceeds $12,000. These funds have a direct connection to benefitting patients in the mid-south area, as there are unfortunately too many instances wherein such services are required after a life-threatening incident occurs.
Thanks to your participation in the annual Memphis Rodders Reunion, and the support of dedicated individuals and car clubs like the Memphis Street Rods, and the Memphis Classic Chevy Club, these donations continue to make such life-saving transportation available whenever a tragic and unforeseen fire strikes a family in our area.
Thanks again, and we'll see you next year!
