Christmas for Kids
Car and Truck Show
2008 Christmas for Kids Car and Truck Show
recap
Each year the Carolina Camaro Association holds a
Christmas-for-Kids Car and Truck Show to benefit the Shriner's Children's Hospital in
Greenville, SC.
For 2008, the event was held on November 22nd at the
Hendrick Motorsports facility near Lowe's speedway. There was a
record 468 cars
with 416 of those registered for judging under a clear and cold Carolina blue sky. Awards included the special
clutch plate award for the top 150 cars, Top Dog (Best of Show), Best Ford/GM/Mopar/Import/Truck/Rod,
and Best Interior/Engine/Paint//Original/Modified. Hendrick Motorsports picked the
car of their choice while the Ladies of Hendrick Motorsports picked their
Ladies' Choice award. Participants voted for their choice in the
Participant's Choice award and a young enthusiast received the Young Gun award.
TV coverage of the event was handled by News 14 Carolina.
Toy delivery to the Children's Hospital.
First CCA met on the Saturday after the Show and purchased
just over $6000 worth of toys. A special thanks goes to Walmart and Kmart
in Newton-Conover for opening their stores to our cause. On Monday,
December 8th, CCA met in Gastonia for the trip to the Children's Hospital in
Greenville, SC - complete with police escort!

Once at the Hospital it was time to meet-and-greet with
the staff and Shriners, then unload the toys. Once they were all laid out,
the children were allowed to come through have their pick.
