I don't have any direct contact for the mother and son, it's all being done through Soffseal. This is what we have published on the donation page linked above for direct donations...

Aloha all, Just wanted to say that the Camaro that was restored was presented to Lance Colton during this past SEMA. I got to go to the dinner that night where Lance and his mother both got to say their thanks. Both were very appreciative and were still in shock of how the car turned out. Also to let the folks know that the excess funds ($2000) that were left over were presented to Lance and his mother and were earmarked for a scholorship for Lance.

Many thanks to members here and the Team Camaro/Chevelle sites that help make this dream come true as well as other sponsors and companies and the 2 different Tech Schools that did all the work in getting the car completed and to SEMA on time.

NBC Nightly news did a follow up story just as you described two nights ago at the end of their broadcast.
They retold the entire story,then showed it being unveiled at SEMA.

The thanks that Lance and his Mother gave at the ARMO reception was very moving, in fact the master of ceremonies asked everyone in the room who donated money, time or product to the project to stand and about half the room stood up!
Most moving was Lance's Mother asking us all to remember her husband, Lance's Dad, who gave his life in Iraq. Mother and child were both very strong and very proud.
