i-Club - The Ultimate Subaru Resource - Bay Area Meet 2017

This post will get updated as more official info is released.

BAM is by far the best Subaru specific show if you want to feel welcomed. It's a grassroots event run by the Subaru community for the Subaru community. It's fun for the whole family, so bring the kids. It's a charity event with a huge raffle full of donated items, from your favorite local speed shops to the big brand name parts suppliers. And every raffle ticket sold funds the charity, not the pockets of the organizers. It's a little friendly competition in the car show. I dare another major Subaru specific car show to raise as much for charity as we do, while having half as much fun. Other shows are run for profit and you can feel that when you go... BAM is all about community.

DATE:
October 1, 2017[/SIZE][/B]

[B]TIME:[/B]
Doors @ 10:30.
On site food vendors will be open, so eat whenever you're ready.
Raffle times will depend on how many prizes we can get but the last raffle will be just before the event ends and will contain some of the larger items.
The event technically ends at 3pm. You're welcome to stay later if you choose but the event will start shutting down and cleaning up.

[B]LOCATION:[/B]
San Jose Giants Stadium
588 E Alma Ave, San Jose, CA 95112

After several years of ever increasing attedance at Quarry Lakes in Fremont, we have decided to change venues. We needed a place with larger parking, more space for car show and vendors and an opportunity to better showcase our charity efforts.

[B]COST:[/B] $10 per person prepay. Prices may be higher at the door. Kids under 13 fly free. Paypal payment to [email]baicbamevent@gmail.com[/email] please send as friends and family and send a note with first and last name so we can check you in upon arrival.

[B]FOOD:[/B]
Stadium vendors will be open, selling food and beverages, including beer. This solves the problem of people not wanting to pay for food they may not want. Now you buy your own only if you want it.

[B]VEHICLE PARKING and PARK COSTS:[/B]
We can not help these. We are using private property and they have their own fees. We can not roll all costs together with the size and style of BAM.

PARK ENTRY: $10 per car
(See attached photo for breakdown - thanks Dave)

[B]CHARITY: [/B]
Jacob’s Heart Foundation. They do great work and we're very happy to partner with them once again. Since the current crew took over BAM we have made the charity a major focus. We've increased our donation every year to date and we're really hoping to do that again this year. 3 years ago it was $7,000. 2 years ago, $9,700. Last year we hit $12,500. Let's break $15k this year!
