The California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation received a generous donation to support its Benefits and Scholarship Programs: a 2007 Infiniti G sports sedan, valued at $39,200.  To raise funds for the CHP 11-99 Foundation's programs, during its 25th, Silver Anniversay Year in 2007, the Infiniti G was the featured prize of a wonderfully successful car drawing!

CHP 11-99 Foundation Board Past President and Major Donor Bruce Meyer was on hand to draw the winning ticket during a special ceremony held at the CHP 11-99 Foundation's new Fullerton office on March 1, 2007.  Mr. Meyer was delighted to call 11-99 Foundation supporters Richard Corgel and Joan Otomo-Corgel of Manhattan Beach and let them know that they were the winners of our drawing this year!

Infiniti originally donated the beautiful vehicle, resplendent in 25th Anniversary silver, to the Boys and Girls Club of Monterey, which held a car drawing fund raiser at the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.  Philanthropist Bruce Meyer, a Past President and current CHP 11-99 Foundation Board Member, won the Infiniti G at the Concours.  Because he is one of the most generous and public-service-focused members of the 11-99 Foundation's family of long-time Southern California supporters, Mr. Meyer decided to re-donate the vehicle to benefit the CHP 11-99 Foundation.  "I heard so many great things about the new Infiniti G, that I figured if I actually got the vehicle in my garage I wouldn't be able to give it up.  So, I decided to donate it before I had the opportunity to fall in love with it," said Mr. Meyer.  "The CHP 11-99 Foundation provides so many important services to CHP families, I wanted to extend my good fortune by donating this car to help provide additional support to the worthy and courageous men and women who put their lives on the line for us every day."

Shiro Nakamura, Senior Vice President for Nissan and Infiniti vehicle design, was present to hand the keys over to the 11-99 Foundation.  "I am happy this vehicle is able to benefit so many people," said Mr. Nakamura.  "We are always looking to help communities, but when a community member like Mr. Meyer reaches out and continues the generosity, it's really quite amazing."

The members of the CHP 11-99 Foundation's Board of Directors extend their sincere gratitude to Bruce Meyer and to Nissan North America, Inc. and many congratulations to Richard Corgel and Joan Otomo-Corgel!
