The Metro East Division’s May 18 Cars For CASA vintage car, truck and bike show boasted approximately 400 entries and an attendance of over 3,000.
Doug Bowerman of Susser Bank, one of the show’s organizers and a member of the Metro East board of directors, said that approximately $88,770 was raised this year.
Metro East board member Dave Hambley of Lee Lighting, states, “CASA advocated for more than 210 children last year alone in our community. Next year will be our 20th anniversary, and we are already accepting sponsors for this monumental show!”
Cars for CASA has become one of the most successful auto shows in North Texas.
“We’re proud to play a role in helping CASA kids rebuild their lives,” said Hambley. “The show is a great way to support a worthy cause and raise awareness.”
All proceeds benefit Lone Star CASA, a non-profit organization that provides trained volunteer advocates to children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. Over the past 19 years Metro East has donated more than $910,580 to the group.
