2021 Charity

 

On Saturday, April 9, 2022, The Hoosier Corvette Club will be making a donation to the American Legion: Operation Comfort Warriors. We were able to make this donation thanks to our 2021 Club Sponsors and the Men and Women of the Hoosier Corvette Club. The club members worked tirelessly, in putting on two Car Shows during the 2021 year.

Operation Comfort Warriors is a program dedicated to meeting the needs of wounded, injured or ill military personnel by providing them with comfort items not usually supplied by the government. OCW ensures that patients at U.S. military hospitals and warrior transition units are given items like sweat suits, DVDs, puzzles, electronic devices, books, calling cards and more. OCW also provides larger items such as ping pong tables, entertainment centers, computers, kayaks and other recreational goods for use by wounded warriors in common areas.

A check in the amount of $6000, will be presented by our Club President, Kent Krimmel, at the American Legion, Department of Indiana Spring Conference held in Indianapolis, IN.

 

 

 

The Hoosier Corvette Club also awarded three $500 Scholarships in memory of two Hoosier Corvette Club members and the son of another club member. These were awarded in the names of Jeff Gaer (Racer) and Bruce Reed, both long time members of HCC and the NCCC. The third Scholarship was awarded in the name of Justin Graves, the son of HCC’s Governor Becky Graves and her husband Jack.

2022 Charity

The Hoosier Corvette Club has selected the Indiana State Patrol Summer Camp Program for this years charitable organization. We hope to provide a significant contribution to support this great program to the youth of Indiana.

For over 40 years, the Indiana State Police has offered young people an exciting, up-close look at law enforcement and the criminal justice system through its youth camps. The camps help students gain respect for themselves and others through programs that demonstrate the rewards of hard work and dedication.

Camps are held at universities around the state and offer campers a unique glimpse of campus life. Each program includes well-balanced meals and comfortable sleeping facilities. Camp staffs are hand-picked, responsible law enforcement personnel, who have committed themselves to preparing today’s youth for their futures.

 

On Thursday, February 23rd, The Hoosier Corvette Club presented a check in the amount of $3000 to the Indiana State Police Summer Camp Program. Accepting the check on behalf of the Indiana State Police were Senior State Trooper John Clawson and Sgt. Seth Tumey. Presenting the $3000 check were club members: (kneeling l-r) Ron Haboush, Rick Smetana; (standing l-r) Tim Fortner, Tarie Fortner, Paul Evans, Kent Krimmel, Becky Graves, Brad Pearson, Jackie Graves, and stading outside of the two ISP patrolmen, Mark Powers.

We would like to thank our 2022 Hoosier Corvette Club Sponsors:

Hubler Chevrolet, Natural Stone Creations, Quality Mill Supply Company, Inc. and Foley’s Custom Concrete Finishing.

Without the assistance of these, our 2022 sponsors, The Hoosier Corvette Club would not be able to give back to the community and help those in need. We really appreciate our sponsors for their help.
