Pilots for FedEx Raise Close to $100,000 for St. Jude!

Posted on June 27, 2017 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

The FedEx pilots led by Bob McKee and assisted by Factory Five’s Tony Zullo built this beautiful blue and white Mk4 Roadster some weeks ago at the Fed Ex St. Jude PGA Classis in Memphis, TN. The car went on to be auctioned and netted $69,000! This total added to other donations have resulted in $100,000 donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Huge congratulations to everyone at FedEx for this great accomplishment and for helping the kids at St. Jude while having a great time doing it!

You can still make your own donation to help the car build effort. Click here to donate to St. Jude now.
