Default SDPC Charity Auction For Rosie Ceralli **CNC 5.3 Heads**

SDPC Charity Auction for Rosie Ceralli

Bill Ceralli, aka budhayes3 took his own life on December 12, 2011. Billy was a knowledgeable and very likeable character on performancetrucks.net. As part of the moderation staff, Billy had become not just a member but part of a close knit family. With his passing, Billy leaves behind his daughter, Rosie.



SDPC is auctioning off a pair of our CNC Ported 5.3 Heads. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to Rosie's College Fund.

Not only that, SDPC will match the winning bid!!!! (up to full retail value)



We will be starting the auction on Dec. 29th, 2011 @ 9pm CST, and ending it on Jan. 8th, 2012 @ 9pm CST.

Auction link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/110799214085...witem=&vxp=mtr
(*Note: Link will not be active until auction has started.)

If you want a pair of CNC 5.3 Heads, THIS is the time to do it!!! Get your ducks in a row and get ready to start bidding!!

Thanks!!!

That's fucked up, what a selfish act to leave a daughter (and I'm assuming a wife) without a dad/husband.

Hope these go for a good price to a good cause.

Oh, and as for the money thing, check out the Google Payment service, that might work.

This only proves how bad depression must be, and how it affects your reasoning abilities. Its a chemical imbalance.....

Billy and I often had differing ideas on Performance trucks, but his aguemnts were alway valid and with merit. I appreciated him keeping the conversation intelligent, and keeping me on my feet with some challenging ideas to ponder.

$760, if it stays there, is a crazy deal.

The people making the off-color remarks must have never had much higher education. You learn about these issues in college in most basic classes, yes it is selfish but like stated, usually these people have a chemical imbalance and they think that the world their wives, children, family, and friends will be a better off without them. In their messed up thoughts that the chemicals cause them to believe they are doing EVERYONE a favor by killing themselves. It's not usually, "omg I lost my job or my house is about to be repossessed and I'm stuck in a rut in life, think I'm gonna kill myself so I don't have to deal with it," it's a chemical imbalance causing them to "help" the world out.
As for the auction, someone got a screaming deal on those heads, and it's nice to see a company giving back to the community that gives them their business.

You could probably raise more money by having a raffle. Grand prize are a set of heads. Jus a thought.

Let me know. Thanks.
