At 4:00am the gates opened for the 11th Annual Cruisin’ For A Cure. the largest single day car cruise and show in the country. At 7:30am the “Drive Against Prostate Cancer Van” opened for FREE PSA cancer screenings. This year alone 1,300+ men were tested! Let me ask you, if you could save just one person’s life, wouldn’t that be special? What if you could help save the lifes of 900+ men in just 11 days!! That accomplishment alone says this event is miraculous!! 30,000 hot rods have cruised into the “Cure” over the last 11 years. From it’s conception 150,000 spectators have contributed to it’s success. Year after year hundreds of vendors have contributed and provided information on their latest products like, Meguiars, AAA, NadaGuides.com, MagnaFlow, FIRESTONE, Edelbrock, Magnuson, Orange Coast Dodge and Jeep, Connell Chevrolet, Guaranty Chevrolet, Dupont, Wheelers, and Mooneyes.
In 11 years, this event has raised over $1,2000,000. for The Cure!! And this year, The City of Hope is the beneficiary. The success of this event has spawned other similar shows in New York, Texas, Utah and Ontario, Canada.
During the day “The Answer” provided live entertainment on the main stage. At 12:00 the talented Casey Simpson had a live concert. After he provided the Invocation, Dave McClelland provided informative announcements all day; he IS the Master of Ceremonies! Thanks to all of you who support this event. See you all next year, on September 24, 2011. Thanks for the Show!
