We are proud to say that we have raised over $900,000 in 14 years. Each year we hold the car show on the last Sunday of August at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities. The show is great entertainment for the whole family with hundreds of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and even boats to look at. Food is available like our pancake breakfast, firefighter’s chili, ice cream & Pepsi. At the end of the show the raffle car is given away. Raffle tickets are $5 each or 6 for $25. The proceeds go to the burn center at The Children’s Hospital for patient care and prevention.
