The In-N-Out Charity Event

I have just a few more photos from the In-N-Out Burger charity event Tuesday night and I thought I’d share them with you.

Many organizations donated cool and collectible things to the auction, like this antique toy fire engine…

And here’s a very cool In-N-Out Teddy bear…

By the way, do you guys and gals know where the term “Teddy bear” originated?

Turns out that it goes back to Theodore Roosevelt. Ol’ Teddy was an avid hunter. On one trip when he was hunting bear, he had one in his sights and he felt it was too little to take. It made national news back in the day, and an enterprising toy company starting selling little stuffed bears they called…you guessed it…Teddy bears. Quite a guy, President Theodore Roosevelt was. I wish we had one like him today.

The food was great.   There were plenty of snacks, and in a rare quiet moment, I grabbed this shot.   The guacamole was awesome.

The star of the show…

The auction was fun, and the In-N-Out CSC motorcycle received (as you might imagine) a disproportionate share of attention.

More In-N-Out auction items…this original painting sold for about the same price as a new California Scooter…

And more In-N-Out memorabilia…

Everybody wanted to check out the In-N-Out bike…

We were seated right up front with the In-N-Out leadership team.  I grabbed this shot without leaving my seat.

And here’s a shot of Darin, the lucky winner and proud owner of an absolutely one-of-kind California Scooter!

Darin, best of luck with your new California Scooter, and thanks for helping to make the In-N-Out Foundation the success that it is!
