Perhaps every member of the BMWCCA received a copy of this e-mail, but just in case, I thought I'd post this request from our National Street Survival School office. The program has an opportunity to receive $1.5 million in grant money.....

Dear Tire Rack Street Survival supporter,
Tire Rack Street Survival® has been nominated for consideration for the American Express Members Project!
If we get enough support we could qualify for funding - the top project will receive $1.5 million, the second place project will receive $500,000, the third place project will receive $300,000 and two additional projects in the Top Five will receive $100,000 in funding.
Whether a cardmember or not, everyone is invited to participate by commenting on and nominating their favorite projects online. You can help Street Survival secure much needed funding by spending just one painless minute at the Members Project website.
Once the submission phase closes on August 19, American Express will work with an Advisory Panel of experts to review the projects and announce the Top 25 submissions on September 9. It's up to Cardmembers to ultimately choose which projects American Express will fund. Cardmembers can make a collective difference by casting their vote, showing their support for their favorite projects, and narrowing down to the Top Five projects starting September 30.
The winning projects will be those with the most Cardmember votes, announced October 14.
This is the first round –please take action now and nominate Street Survival. You do not need to be an AmEx cardmember to nominate the project, but you will need to be one to vote should Street Survival make it to the top 25:
Project ID is GN1G22
Please pass this on to as many people as you can. Every vote counts!!
