Default Legacy Passed On From Smoke On The Water To Platnium Powerboat Club

Let's kick off the season right by making wishes happen!!
Platinum Power Boat Club will be hosting a live auction benefiting Make a Wish Foundation of Southern Florida at Puttin' on the Wish, Palm Beach 2009 which will be held on April 2nd at Palm Beach Florida. At this auction will be a very special BMX bike that I'm going to refer to you as THE LEGACY. The legacy is a story about a very special young man named Michael Cooper and the people with big hearts who came to know him. Michael is a fallen child of Make A Wish Foundation of Michigan and if you ever met him, you would have seen his love for life and it would surely have changed you. In 2002 and 2003, Michael attended the Smoke On The Water poker run and touched a lot of hearts. Michael's mother purchased him a new BMX bike but he would never get the chance to enjoy it in this life, but surely his spirit is riding it in heaven. Kelly, Michael's mother donated the bike to the Smoke On The Water poker run live auction in 2005. Before the auction began, the bike received a custom paint job from Mitcher T. That night the legacy began. The bike was auctioned off twice that night to raise $3400. The final bidder that bought the bike donated it back to Kelly Cooper (Michael's Mom). After Kelly's recent discovery of Puttin' on the Wish, Palm Beach 2009, she knew that Michael's bicycle could help other Make A Wish children! She reaches out to "Smoke on the Water" liaison, Bob Luellen for his assistance. Bob quickly picked up the Bicycle and sent it to Powerboat Magazine to be on display at the 2009 Miami Boat Show. Michael's bicycle received an overwhelming response. With high expectations of granting many wishes the bike will be up for auction on March 12th during the Puttin' on the Wish live auction at Club Safari inside the Marriott in Palm Beach Gardens! To donate, join the event or volunteer for "Puttin' on the Wish" Palm Beach 2009 please contact Joy Schou at 239-470-6156 or [email protected] for more information on Puttin on the Wish go to; http://www.platinumpowerboatclub.com...palmbeach.html
