Are We Really Going To Give Away A Vintage Trailer and a Classic Truck?

35 years ago drinking and driving was the number one national epidemic.  Driving while intoxicated was killing more friends and family members all over America than any other disasters.

Lake Tahoe was no exception!  Tahoe was the Party place so something had to be done.  A group of friends and volunteers decided to take turns staying sober and to drive home anyone who called to give their friends a safe  ride home.  This idea caught on and soon these good Samaritans were getting calls from local casinos, bars, police officers, and even private parties and weddings.   The Lake Tahoe community quickly recognized the benefits of this service and got involved; cars were donated, Beeper systems were activated and office space was donated.  Everything was in place except how to pay for the gas, utility's  and everyday expense's of keeping cars running 24/7 and the lights on.   What did we have that we could work with to make some expense money on?   What did we like?  50’s music, dancing and old cars.  Lets have a 50s dance and raffle off an old restored car or truck.  Thus was created one of the most successful and longest running charity fundraisers and safe ride programs at Tahoe Today:  the Cool September Days Sock-Hop and car show. Get your raffle tickets now.

Today, 35 years later, Goodsamsaferide has driven safely home over 250,000 Intoxicated drivers and their passengers and has raffled off over 70 old cars, trucks, motorcycles, (old and new) and at last count, one new teardrop and seven vintage camping trailers.  All to keep these safe rides free and available.  While today these safe rides are paid for by Good Sams and  they are provided by Yellow cab Taxi's  this safe ride service is still very much a friend and volunteer operated community wide service.  Most people who hear about this program want to help in any way, old cars are donated, mechanic's  and body shops help restore the prize packages, additional nice prizes are donated.  Even people we just meet want to help, like Paul and Caroline Lacitinola, who publish the wonderful Vintage Camper Trailers Magazine.  Paul has now helped us find and procure three of the last seven amazing vintage trailers that continues to make this annual raffle so popular.  Thanks to everyone for your help and support with our raffle and safe ride program. And YES, we really are giving this away on October 18, 2020! Get your tickets here.

Please Check us out at goodsamsaferide.com. 
GOOD LUCK!!   Tom and Polly Argo
