First let me introduce myself. My name is Daniel or DVan if you prefer. I'm a long time member and moderator on 350zmotoring.com, so you can check my credentials there if you like.

Mods, if this is the wrong place for this thread, feel free to move it. If you feel like making it a sticky, that'd be great.

Nissan Z / Infiniti G Calendar for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation

Susan G. Komen for the Cure

What Are We Doing?
We are creating a calendar to sell to sports car enthusiasts as well as anyone who just wants to support the cause. The calendar will feature a different picture of a Nissan Z or Infiniti G car along with a female model for each month. In order to try and peak the interest of both men and women, car enthusiasts and breast cancer research supporters alike, each month will have both a month appropriate theme and incorporate a pink ribbon in some way. For example, December's model could wear a santa hat and hold a present with a pink ribbon on it. All proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation.

What is the Susan G. Komen Foundation?
From their web site: "[...] Susan G. Komen for the Cure® [is] the global leader of the breast cancer movement, having invested more than $1 billion since inception in 1982. As the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, we’re working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure®, and generous contributions from our partners, sponsors and fellow supporters, we have become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world."

How Can I Help?
What we need from the members of the Z/G community are pictures following the guidelines stated above. Female members are encouraged to pose with their own vehicles. Male members, grab your girlfriend/wife/friend to pose with your ride. I am sure not everyone has a nice camera or is particularly comfortable with their photography skills, so I would also like some volunteers from people who would be willing to take pictures for other local members. I can take care of anyone in the the middle Tennessee/southern Kentucky area. Whoever would like to help by volunteering their car/modeling/photography, please post here, and we can discuss the details of your particular photo shoot over PM.

When Do I Need To Have My Pictures Submitted?
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so I would like to have the pictures submitted to me by the end of September. That way I can hopefully have them printed and shipped out before October is over. This will also be a good time frame for people who are Christmas shopping.

How Can I Order a Calendar and What Will They Cost?
If you would like to order a calendar, just post in this thread, and I will add your name to the list. If you would like more than one calendar, please indicate that in your post. When the calendar starts coming together, I will PM each of you for your address. Final price shipped within the U.S. is $20 each. I think PayPal will be the best route to go for sending/receiving payment as it is quick, easy, and protects all parties involved.

If anyone has any questions, comments, or suggestions, please do not hesitate to speak to me either in this thread or via PM. We have a chance as a community to really make a difference in people's lives. Let's do this!
