Update: I want to thank everyone how has already donated to our team, but we are still in need of fire suits and could use any amount of money you guys could give.
Over this past holiday weekend, while many of us were enjoying much needed time with friends and family, Louisville SAE Baja received the news that "Big Red" the team's trailer was stolen Saturday morning. Even though our trailer was found today; it was basically empty and broken so it could not be locked. We are working with the University and insurance company to replace the contents of the trailer, we are in desperate need on safety gear before Midnight Mayhem. Midnight Mayhem is an extremely important event to the Louisville team, and we would love the opportunity to participate in the first year we can host this event at the University of Louisville. As a team, we realize working with the insurance company may take months, but with Mayhem only 16 days way we may not have time to work with the insurance company. So we are asking for your help. The Baja community is full of people who work together and watch out for one another. So please if you have any approved safety gear, or have any leads on where to get safety gear in a pinch, please reach out to us. We may be able to get by with the few helmets we have left, but we are in desperate need of firesuits, wrist restraints, neck braces, gloves, and goggles. Thank you all for your support, and we hope to see you all at Mayhem.
Edit: We added a GoFundMe https://www.gofundme.com/f/louisville-sae-baja-safety-gear-recovery?sharetype=teams&member=2819398&rcid=r01-156756943041-c94dead9afc84a41&pc=ot_co_campmgmt_w
