4th Annual MDA Benefit Car Show Well folks, the time has come again....
As many here know, I have muscular dystrophy, 1 of over 40 different types effect my daily life as well as a lot of my fathers side of the family. Since I was dianosed at age 2, The Muscular Dystrophy Association has been a part of my life. Clinics, Surgeons, Specialists, Braces, Dr's visits, and the most important part Summer camp.....was provided at no cost to me or my family. To most summer camp doesnt seem to be that big of a deal...to those with disabilities its the only thing a lot of these kids have to look forward to. A week in their lives where no one laughs, no one judges them, they are carefree kids who dont have to worry about drs and rules and worries of every day cruel real world people. At camp, we find love, truth, fun, friends, laughter, and an expierence that we look forward to every year.
My mom and I started this car show as my way to tie my love for cars together with my friends that also love cars and giving back to MDA for all they have done for me. A small contributation to hopefully finding a cure. Some maybe someday there will be no little kids who need MDA summer camp (although its wonderful, itd be even better to have no kids with MD). Last year we presented a check to MDA at the local telethon for a little over $600, this year we want to make it a bigger check. It costs clost to $3000 to put this show on every year and without sponsors and participants, we cant do it.
So thank you in advance for reading this long thread and viewing the flyer. We look forward to seeing you. If you want to know about how to sponsor a class or donate to the show for raffle items etc, please pm me.
Word is we will have a massive amount of Camaro's and Firebirds at the show this year!

We have a decent amount of pre-reg rollin in. We are short on sponsors this year though, so if anyone has a business they would like to promote fairly cheap all while helping out a charity please pm me.
Online Pre-Reg is open at www.mdabenefitshow.com
Should have another good showing of Fbodies and all sorts of cool rides. Last year we had 99 cars, the year before we had 110+. Hoping for 120+ this year.

The MD really kicks my butt when I get hurt cuz I take so long to heal. And unlike last year, Im going to try to actually enjoy the show and not be in so much pain I get sick.
