The 27th Annual Veterans Memorial Car Show was sold out early, maxing out the venue capacity of 600 street rods and custom cars all on display at the show; Not to mention vendors, food vendors, and bingo for your enjoyment.  On Oct 1, the show was held at Sylvan Park in Redlands; next year's date is Oct 14.

Per organization spokesperson, Betty Volk, the show netted around $58,000 this year.

With the funds raised by the foundation, they should total around $190,000 to help our veterans in 2018.  In the 27 years of the car shows, total raised and distributed to Vets is $3 million plus in financial support.  All proceeds raised by our volunteer staff goes to support our veterans and their families.  Also, selling donuts from their restored Helms Bakery truck at the Norton Air/Car show were Mike and Katie Lambert with the proceeds benefiting the veterans. 

If you or your organization would like to partner with one of the most effective Veteran’s support systems, please email them at 14vfvf@gmail.com. Sincere appreciation for your past and future participation and support of our veterans.
