People’s Choice Car Show Founder’s Day 2018
by Mike Mahoney, Region Concours Chair
This year’s record-breaking Founders’ Day started
out chilly with a throng of people and Porsches for
our second annual Porsche Promenade People’s Choice
Car Show. The Mavs & Mochas faithful enjoyed the
NorthPark Center venue in uptown while perusing
the nearly 200 precious Porsches and voting for their
favorites. Winners were awarded at the Founders’ Day
evening event at the grand Porsche Grapevine dealership.

I can sum up our first
ever Maverick Region
Online Silent Auction in
one word: GENEROUS!
Wow! While searching
for the perfect online site,
contacting contributors for
their gifts in support of the
Hope House, and setting
what I then thought was a
very lofty goal of $12,000, I
never imagined the results!
After 8,605 page views,
246 bids, and more than
100 items sold, the results
were unprecedented! The
Maverick Region’s first
online silent auction raised
$14,821 to support the
Huffaker-Hughes Hope
House, a home for victims
of domestic violence,
achieving 123.5% of goal!
When the bidding ended on
November 25, I couldn’t
have been prouder to be
part of this generous group.
Which item raised the
largest dollar amount you
ask? The rare gent’s 1956
Rolex watch, which was
donated in the final week of
the auction by Watchman
International, contributed
25% of our total dollars
raised! Congratulations and
thank you to our winning
bidder, Michael Hyatt, and
the team at Watchman Intl.
Which item had the
most views and bids?
That distinction goes to
the COBB Accessport
for Macan S/GTS/Turbo,
donated by Growler Motor
Labs, raising $885.00.
This item caused quite the
bidding war in the final

A huge thank you to all
our generous contributors

this year’s first online
silent auction such a

Auction, coupled with
additional generous

charity, the Hope House!
