Amarillo, TX TEXAS, March 8, 2016 (
Newswire) -
Get behind the wheel of the
32nd Annual Make-A-Wish Car
Show with
Street Auto Group's
Motormouth Video Podcast. "We had the best turn out ever" says
Alba Austin,
Development Officer of the Make-A-Wish
North Texas branch. "Thousands of people came from all over to help make our kid's dreams come alive."
Held at the
Amarillo Civic Center, this year's car show wasn't able to accommodate all the entrants who wanted to participate. "We received an overwhelming amount of support" says Austin. "We were hoping for
300 vehicle entries and we exceeded that by far;
Thank you Amarillo, Texas!"
The
Make-A-Wish Foundation assists children with life-threatening illnesses by making their most special dreams come true. "It can be a real game changer in their life" says Austin.
The
Panhandle Council of Car
Clubs in Amarillo, Texas helped sponsor this year's event.
Laid Out Kustoms of
Amarillo, featured a 1962
Chrysler 300 at the show which will be restored and customized by the donated efforts of assorted automotive, tire, glass, paint and mechanic shops throughout Amarillo. For a chance to win this custom hot rod, the public is encouraged to participate in a
Facebook raffle being sponsored by the Street Auto Group of Amarillo.
"The Make-A-Wish Car Show has been a
West Texas Panhandle tradition for decades" says
John Luciano,
General Manager of Street Volkswagen. "Street Toyota and Street Volkswagen are proud to help support such a very important cause" says Luciano. "This show started over thirty years ago with an old school car group; the Panhandle Council of Car Clubs, getting together every
Saturday morning to talk about their love of cars" says Luciano. "
Today, they're helping hundreds of kids be a little happier."
Street Auto Group will select four, randomly drawn participants to receive a $25 raffle ticket from Laid Out Kustoms, with the proceeds to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Raffle tickets can also be purchased from Laid Out Kustoms directly through May
18th, 2016.
