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

I can sum up our first<br />
ever Maverick Region<br />
Online Silent Auction in<br />
one word: GENEROUS!<br />
Wow! While searching<br />
for the perfect online site,<br />
contacting contributors for<br />
their gifts in support of the<br />
Hope House, and setting<br />
what I then thought was a<br />
very lofty goal of $12,000, I<br />
never imagined the results!<br />
After 8,605 page views,<br />
246 bids, and more than<br />
100 items sold, the results<br />
were unprecedented! The<br />
Maverick Region’s first<br />
online silent auction raised<br />
$14,821 to support the<br />
Huffaker-Hughes Hope<br />
House, a home for victims<br />
of domestic violence,<br />
achieving 123.5% of goal!<br />
When the bidding ended on<br />
November 25, I couldn’t<br />
have been prouder to be<br />
part of this generous group.<br />
Which item raised the<br />
largest dollar amount you<br />
ask? The rare gent’s 1956<br />
Rolex watch, which was<br />
donated in the final week of<br />
the auction by Watchman<br />
International, contributed<br />
25% of our total dollars<br />
raised! Congratulations and<br />
thank you to our winning<br />
bidder, Michael Hyatt, and<br />
the team at Watchman Intl.<br />
Which item had the<br />
most views and bids?<br />
That distinction goes to<br />
the COBB Accessport<br />
for Macan S/GTS/Turbo,<br />
donated by Growler Motor<br />
Labs, raising $885.00.<br />
This item caused quite the<br />
bidding war in the final<br />
Roberto Anderson’s 1963 356, and 1George Maffey’s 962 356 Outlaw<br />

A huge thank you to all<br />
our generous contributors<br />
and members who made<br />
this year’s first online<br />
silent auction such a<br />
huge success! The Silent<br />
Auction, coupled with<br />
additional generous<br />
contributions allowed<br />
the Maverick Region to<br />
provide $20,000 in cash<br />
and gifts to our Maverick<br />
charity, the Hope House!<br />
