CRUZERS WIN THE GOLDEN RULE AWARD FOR 2nd TIME
To see the Sun Current article CLICK HERE

In the last 5 years we've donated over$47,500.00 from The Summer Spectacular (Car Show/Swap Meet/Craft Fair) & the Friday Night Cruise (which we parted ways with in 2009), to charities and scholarships. This is why most of our members give of their time to work at our events, to generate $$ to help others. We also do free "mini-shows" (Club Cars only) for non-profit & for-profit organizations. It's exposure for the Club and a big draw for the event we're at.

ROBERT LEWIS HOUSE

Robert Lewis House is our #1 Charity. It is a "safe house" shelter for battered & abused women & children.

It's one of the reasons many of us volunteer to work the Cruise & Show! It gives you a good feeling knowing that the money being earned by your volunteer work is going to help those in need.

We donate our profits to other charities & scholarships, which are listed below and to the right.

OTHER 2009 CHARITIES

MINNESOTA MILITARY APPRECIATION FUND

This is financial aid for MN troops that are returning from overseas duty.

MINNESOTA TEEN CHALLENGE

This is a 12 month in-house drug & alcohol rehab program with a very high success rate

NATIONAL CANCER COALITION

The NCC provides medical and financial relief to cancer patients as well as research and educational programs designed to improve survivability rates

MEALS ON WHEELS

This organization delivers meals to the elderly allowing them to remain living in their own homes leading productive lives, as opposed to going to a Nursing Home.

LAST HOPE
This is a group of volunteers that take stray & abandoned animals into their own homes and act as foster owners until they find people that will take the animals as their own. A "Pet Adoption Agency" basically. They do it to avoid having the animals "put down" which is what would happen if they went to a shelter and weren't adopted.

VFW
Everyone knows this worthwhile organization. It supports the Vetrans of Foreign Wars.
