Donation Meet/Drive for Alex (Supra Collision) Sun 12/16

Postby perrin » Tue Dec 11, 2007 3:34 am

Very Sad!!


This is now being posted on many forums. Many car enthusiast groups are pulling together next Sunday in memory of the innocent kid who was killed by the bank robber fleeing from the police.

If you have not seen the video, it is below. Warning: May be graphic/ disturbing.

Our thoughts go out to his family.

This thread outlines our plans for a Donation Meet/Drive for Alex Ahmad, the driver of the white Supra, who was killed on 12/5/07 when a bank robber selfishly took his life by driving head-on into Alex's Supra during a police chase.

Although many of us exist on various forums throughout the world, we all share a sense of compassion for each other and it's times like this that we can really leverage our ability to work together. So feel free to share this with ANYONE that can make this. Additionally, we would all like to wear white shirts during this if possible. Thanks.

Details
Date: 12/16/07
Time: 10AM meet at Lot 59 at ASU.
12PM depart Lot 59 to travel to the scene of the accident to pay respects.

(please be respective of all laws when traveling to the scene as we'd like to have everyone home safely).

We will collect donations for the family at the scene for all who are willing to contribute. We're currently working to see if the family is receptive to having these donations presented to them. If they wish not to, we will certainly find an approprite cause.

We will accept donations from 12:30PM (travel time to arrive there) to 4:00PM.

Lot 59 is located on the NW corner of Rio Salado and Scottsdale Rd. Below you will find a map.


Image
As mentioned, at 12PM we will travel to the scene, located on McKellips, just east of the 101.

Image
The easiest form of travel will be:

From Lot 59 travel east on Rio Salado to Scottsdale Road
Turn Left on Scottsdale Rd and merge onto the 202 East
From the 202 East merge to the 101 North
The first exit is McKellips. Turn right and proceed down about 1.5 miles.

I believe the family has set up a fund account at I think BofA... the donation could be deposited there.

You are right.. found this on Azcentral:

The Ahmad family has opened a fund in Alex's name. Donations to the Alex Ahmad Fund, account 457008523763, may be made at any Bank of America.

Truly sad.

Yeah, Mark, Alexis and I were out there today representing. There was a pretty good turn out of cars/car clubs showing their support to the family. As the map stated, we started out near the ASU stadium and drove directly to the accident scene where the memorial was. The family paid their respects to everyone that came out and that was it.
