2002 Z06 Benefiting Semper Fi
The donated Corvette will be auctioned at Mecum Indy with proceeds benefiting the Semper Fi & America's Fund.
For those of you that attended the 2023 Gold Gala, you will remember a United States Marine in attendance that played a very moving video about the Semper Fi & America’s Fund (which can be seen here). What you may not remember is that Bloomington Gold had a silent auction that night benefitting the organization. The auction resulted in a $6,000 donation to the non for profit.
The message and images of the video stuck with a lot of attendees, but more so with one person. In October of 2023, Guy Larsen received a call from a Bloomington Gold enthusiast inquiring how to donate a Corvette to Bloomington Gold with the intention of the car being sold and all proceeds going to the Semper Fi & America’s Fund. After some discussion, it was determined the best course was to auction the car. One phone call to Dana Mecum and the car was set to be auctioned at Mecum Indy.
