Dear customers. friends and family of Clovis Auto Shop,
For the past 10 years, every July, I have been participating in an annual Baja ride that serves a much greater purpose than the journey itself. Once again, from July 9–12 2026, I will travel to Rancho Santa Marta in San Vicente, Baja, Mexico, where we will deliver much needed donations and spend time with the incredible children and staff who call this special place home.
Rancho Santa Marta is an orphanage and school that provides housing, education, medical care, and a loving environment for displaced and abandoned special needs children. Children in Mexico face dire consequences when abandoned by their family and unfortunately this happens all too frequently. The compassion and dedication shown by the Rancho Santa Marta staff creates opportunities and hope for children who have faced extraordinary challenges.
Over the years, I have been humbled to witness firsthand the impact that generous donations can have on the lives of these children. Whether it helps provide meals, educational resources, medical support, or everyday necessities, every contribution plays an important role in helping Rancho Santa Marta continue its mission.
As we are preparing for this year's trip, I would like to invite our customers, friends, and family to join us in supporting this remarkable organization. No gift is too small, and every dollar you donate goes directly towards caring for the children and supporting the programs that serve them.
My goal this year is to raise $10,000 or more. Clovis Auto Shop will be commiting to matching donations raised up to $2,500 and I am also donating personally. This important cause is near and dear to my heart since I am blessed to be raising my own special needs child. Thank you for considering, and even a $5 or $10 donation will make a difference . Please donate by July 7, 2026 and together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of special needs children who need it most.
Warm regards,
Rob Porcella
