CEO Hassan, who has been supporting the organization personally for nearly a decade doubled down on the importance of the cause. "Spinal cord injuries affect so many of our dear friends in the car and racing community. The Patina Collective team is proud to support Cruise and his organization to empower those who need mobility assistance," stated Daniel Hassan, CEO of the Patina Collective.

Due to tremendous community support and growth, Cruise was able to launch The Cruisey Baby Initiative, a 501c3 dedicated to substantially changing the lives of people struggling to live a healthy and fulfilling life with a spinal cord injury. "The unbelievable and generous support from the Patina Collective makes a huge difference towards our efforts.  It's costly to host an event the size of The Cruiser Palooza. Through the Patina Collective's generous donation, it allows for more funds to go straight to the cause of helping others to live a high-quality of life with a spinal cord injury," stated Cruise Bogle, Founder of the Cruisey Baby Initiative.

The 1992 Mercedes-Benz 500SL Roadster, showing just north of 96k Miles on the odometer, comes finished in rare and elegant factory Pearl Blue Metallic over Royal Blue Leather interior and a Dark Blue Soft Top. This mostly original and unmodified car was delivered new in the UK in March of 1992, this car represents a great opportunity to own a roadster with a very unique spec in the US, well worthy as an addition to any Youngtimer collector's garage and help a great cause at the same time.  Bidding will be live on April 2nd and run through April 9th at www.thembmarket.com
