You all need to start a thread auctioning off those Brand New OEM LCA's with Whiteline Bushings installed. All proceeds go too the Charity that the event was planned for.

If you want, I can do something like that. Let me see what I can do to set it up. We also have to figure out shipping them as well if we do this. Let's talk offline about it. Can I text you tonight?

Alright sounds good

JeffB · May 27, 2020

We're all sorry to hear this but it's reasonable considering the issue.
Think about it the 2012 Olympics are canceled, the marathons, Baseball so far, I don't know of any 4th Fireworks.
This is a very strange time for all of us.

Just got off the phone rescheduling a wedding for that weekend to next year. The real issue is not everyone’s going to be comfortable, and I’m guessing these guys (I’m included) want to see as many of us out there as possible.

Hello everyone,

This has been one of the hardest decisions that I think I have ever had to make. Unfortunately, the 2020 TacomaWorld “summer Sizzler” meet for autism speaks is going to be canceled. Anyone that has purchased a ticket will be refunded the money within a period of two weeks. Unfortunately, through the aspect of the online ticket system, I cannot take out the money and donate the money directly. The money is being held in escrow through EventBright.com until five days after the event actually happens. If you happen to be so inclined to donate directly to autism speaks with the money that you paid, you can click on this link ( https://act.autismspeaks.org/site/Donation2?idb=90305385&4141.donation=form1&DONATION_LEVEL_ID_SELECTED=1&df_id=4141&mfc_pref=T&idb=[[S76:idb]] )and make the donation directly. You will obviously be given an email receipt that you can use for your taxes. Please believe that the decision to cancel this event was not made lightly. All of us look forward to event such as this to not only show off each other’s trucks but to also have a good time, get work done on our trucks, have some good food, get people off of the computers, and grow the community for the love of our Toyota Tacoma’s.

Obviously, the main reason why we are canceling the event is due to the current COVID 19 pandemic that is gripping the nation. Even having an event like this, even if we were to use social distancing, would be putting people at risk and that is not something that any of us really feel comfortable with. The physical event site currently remains closed and most likely will not have the ability to reopen until possibly late July or even August.

When I first started this event last year, I did not expect to see such a huge outpouring of people, not only willing to attend the event, but also to give to a great cause. This year, I had to take on a full-time staff of TacomaWorld members because of the amount of work that goes behind an event like this to take place. I would personally like to thank @LivinLoud (TJ), @Sr5_Tacoma (Kyle) , @Blais03 (Nick), and @DrFunker (Chris) for all of their work that they have done behind the scenes to try to help put an event like this together. You have no idea how much work goes into putting on an event like this and these guys have worked tirelessly to try to bring everything together for the Tacoma world community. We do want an event like this to get bigger and better every year and also by having this event this year, it would diminish the likelihood of this happening. All the vendors have been notified and understand that we will work tirelessly to make even a bigger and better event in 2021 that we already have planned. This is not to say that maybe a mini meet or possible multiple wheeling trips can be planned for the summer. Please reach out to me or anyone in my team for any other questions. Please allow a period of two weeks for the refund to happen. Anyone that has paid with a credit card, will go back right onto the credit card and anyone that has paid with PayPal, will be refunded directly to their PayPal. Please stay safe and hopefully we will see you all soon.

With kindness and respect,

Jared Proulx

This is the reasonable thing. I would still like to donate whatever monies was coming back to me to the autism charity if possible.

Guys thank you for understanding, believe us, this was a tough call to make. But 2021 will be massive! Our work here isn’t done, just postponed.

If we have a wedding, I’m coming anyways! Wife is cool with it and we have a few guys that can cover for me.

this type of event is worth making it to IMO.

I had a feeling this was going to happen.
I DO think this is the right call as there's a lot of unknowns still out there regarding this virus.
We'll just have to make up for it in 2021!

ABA180 · May 27, 2020

Tough choice but the best choice and the wise choice. Same type of thing my second job is going through..cancelled our spring season 6 weeks in (of 14), no summer, and cautiously optimistic on fall.

yorttam83 · May 27, 2020

Sorry to hear but completely understandable..
