Charities & More

In the last 3 years we've donated over$32,500.00  from The Summer Spectacular (Car Show/Swap Meet/Craft Fair) & the Friday Night Cruise, 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.
