Ultra Rare PengoFamily's 'PengoDaddy Signature' Geocoin Charity Auction

[+PengoFamily]

Ultra Rare 'PengoDaddy Signature Edition' Geocoin Ebay auction

 

All the money raised will be given to the Make A Wish Foundation.

We will match $1 for $1 (up to $250) whatever this geocoin sells for.

PengoDaddy loves everything to do with aviation. (One of his hobbies includes flying radio controlled airplanes.) One of PengoDaddy's highlights was when the whole PengoFamily went to Quebec City in June 2006 to watch the international air show. PengoFamily had the pleasure of seeing the Blue Angels at this event.

 

Sadly, on Saturday April 21st, 2007 there was a tragic accident at a Blue Angel's show and a pilot was killed:

Lt. Cmdr. Kevin J. Davis died April 21 2007, when the F/A-18A he was piloting crashed during the final moments of an air show at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, SC. He served as the opposing solo pilot and flew the No. 6 jet for the team. He was in his second year with the squadron and it was his first year as a demonstration pilot.

 

 

The family of Lt Cmdr Kevin J. Davis has asked that in lieu of flowers that donations be made in his name to the Make A Wish Foundation. This is what we will be doing with all the proceeds from this particular auction.

In fact we will match it equally.

 

The PengoDaddy Signature Edition Geocoin is based on the Blue Angel's color scheme. It is extremely rare as it is a 1 of 5 made. The geocoin is 1.75" in diameter and has an imitation hard enamel finish. Is is trackable on geocaching.com and has a custom icon.

 

The starting price for this auction is $100 Cdn. We know that this sounds ambiticious and high to some but we feel that it is an appropriate minimum amount to donate to this wonderful organization (Make A Wish Foundation.) Since we are new to ebay and selling we couldn't have a reserve auction.

 

For those of you who are not familiar with them here is some information taken from their website:

Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® has given hope, strength and joy to children with life-threatening medical conditions. From our humble beginnings with one boy’s wish to be a police officer, we’ve evolved into an organization that grants a child’s wish in the U.S. every 41 minutes."

 

A wish experience is frequently a source of inspiration for children undergoing difficult medical treatments and a positive force that helps them overcome their obstacles. A wish experience is often more than a dream come true: It’s the catalyst that rekindles their belief in themselves and the promise of their future.

 

Thank you for taking the time to look at our auction. Even if you cannot bid on it we appreciate prayers for the family of Lt Cmdr Kevin J. Davis and for the children that Make A Wish Foundation helps each and every day.
