2017 American Cancer Society Relay for Life - Chance to Win a 1 Day M School

Some of you who have done the Performance Center Delivery may know Jonathan Stribble, a Product & Delivery Support Specialist at the BMW Performance Center in South Carolina.

Jonathan was an active member of forums for several years, but, unfortunately due to a policy change that was implemented by BMW, he is no longer allowed to post or comment as a BMW representative on any social media site or forum.

Since this policy was implemented, I have posted about his efforts, the last several years to assist him.

Each year Jonathan does an annual fundraising for the American Cancer Society and Jonathan has secured another BMW Performance Driving School certificate for a One Day "M" School at the BMW Performance Center (East or West), which he will use again this year to help raise funds for the American Cancer Society.

For a chance to win the One Day "M" Driving School certificate, simply make a donation to ACS through Jonathan's page (http://main.acsevents.org/goto/Stribble). He will enter you into the drawing for every $10 donated ($10 = 1 entry, $50 = 5 entries, etc...). The drawing will be held during the Spartanburg Relay for Life event on May 12, 2017 and he will announce the winner the following week.

Relay For Life is an opportunity to celebrate loved ones who have won their battle against cancer, remember those no longer with us, and fight back against this disease that robs so many of so much.

Please join Jonathan in fighting cancer and consider supporting his fundraising efforts by making a donation.

It's a great cause--and you have a chance to win a 1 Day M School by donating!

Thanks, in advance!

C'mon guys, this is a good cause, and you're helping out a fellow BMW enthusiast. BMW is donating the 1-Day M School. Almost everybody here owns an M3 or M4, surely you can cough up $10, $50, or more. The money is tax-deductible.

Let's help Jonathan exceed his goal in the next 38 days! You might win that 1-Day M School!

Thank you very much to those that have been able to donate so far. Jonathan is now 96% of the way toward his goal.

Only 3 more days to donate and get an entry in to the drawing to win a 1 day M School at the BMW Performance Center!

If you are able to donate, let's get Jonathan over 100% of his goal today.

For more information, and to donate, please see the link below:

http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?px...91&pg=personal

For every $10 donated through Jonathan's page, he will enter your name into the drawing for the M School ($10 = 1 entry, $50 = 5 entries, and so on).

Please make sure to include at least your email or phone number in the "Personal Note" section for your donation so he can put it on your entry. The drawing will be held during the ACS Relay For Life event on May 12th, 2017.

The winner of this drawing will have 1 year from the date of issue to use the certificate and can choose to apply the value towards another school.

Thank you!

My wife and I have actually already been to the 2 Day M School at the Performance Center East about 1.5 years ago. We'll probably buy another 1 Day so that we can both take it together, probably sometime in the fall at Performance Center West. I'll certainly post my experience at that time.

Thanks again!

Sorry it took so long for me to report back on this, but here goes:

My wife and I both attended the 1-Day M School on Sunday, November 26, 2017 at Performance Center West in Thermal, CA. I used the gift certificate that I won and also wanted to sign my wife up for the same class. When I called to make my reservation I found out that apparently I had a credit for a 1-Day Driving School as a result of buying my 2016 M4 and doing Euro Delivery in May 2016, so they credited the cost of that school ($849) towards the 1-Day M School ($1550) for my wife. The 1-Day Driving School also came with 2 nights lodging at the Embassy Suites in La Quinta, CA (Palm Springs area) so we also got that.

Bottom line, my wife and I both attended the 1-Day M School and got 2 nights lodging for the grand total of $701! This would normally cost $3100 plus lodging!

We've both been to Performance Center West on several occasions, twice for BMW Performance Center Experiences with our local BMW CCA chapter, and once for M Track Days. We've also both attended the 2-Day M School at Performance Center West in Greer, SC.

We drove from San Diego the afternoon before. This was our first time at Performance Center West since they finished their permanent building. It's a very nice facility with large classrooms, a large gift shop, and a large dining room with an excellent kitchen.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience there. The 1-Day M School uses M2s, M3s, and M4s. An added bonus was that I took 1st Place in the timed runs and my wife took 3rd Place. They even awarded me a medal!

Thanks to Jonathan and FairfaxM3 for making this happen!
