Getting there!!!!
 

After almost a 6 months of planing, traveling, coordinating, and in the end shipping, its almost done!! Now what is it you ask? Simply put a tool to bring the Scion community together again to honor a member of the Scion community.

Well as many of you will remember last year on Memorial day weekend we lost a dear friend a family member Corina Iosia. I struggled for a bit afterward trying to think of a way to make a positive out of the situation and I think I finally have it with the community's help. I present to you this:

Attachment 102188

Now it is not framed yet but the plan is to in the near future get it framed and auction it off and donate the proceeds to a suicide prevention center in Corina's name. I will be approaching regional Scion reps, dealerships, and opening it up to enthusiasts as well.

I would really like to thank:

Ken Gushi
Tanner Foust
Troy Sumitomo

and especially

Chris Rado

Ken & Tanner both autographed it @ Formula Drift this year on August 8th in Monroe, WA. Troy Sumitomo autographed it in Las Vegas at the SEMA show Nov. 4th, also in attendance was Chris Rado but, I had left the jersey in the hotel room that day (figures right?). However he was really interested in the project, and offered to sign it after SEMA. I mailed it him, he autographed it, and sent it back along with some other autographed items as well! Again I want to thank the fore-mentioned people for helping make this project a reality, and hopefully we can really raise a lot of money and do some real good for those in need, and show that the Scion community is more than just a bunch of people that drive the same type of car.

I will update this as information warrants (pics of it framed, when it goes to auction, etc) I just wanted to get this out there and hear some thoughts

that's awesome, you can count me in if you need help.

That is way cool, and totally shows how standup some ppl can be..!

Thats great Erik. Really cool of you to do this. You should post this up where the whole forum can bid on it too, just an idea.

^Indeed I still need to get it framed then I was told to have it appraised and go from there.

Looks awesome man. Great idea.

great idea & job Erik.. I can donate a little money to help frame it & are you looking for all community members to sign it or cetain representives of Scion to sign it?

YOU DA MAN.....

I was hoping to get the big names on this one and maybe do a second community one to hang at the dealership. Thanks guys glad to see people like the idea was hoping it would be well accepted.

Awesome idea Erik. Why I love the Scion community, so many people down to help others.

Update I am looking at expanding the project...I am contacting other members of Scion racing and going to see if I can't press my luck and get all the drivers, and Scion mentioned tuners to autograph! Cross your fingers everyone!!!!

cool!!!
