The car show is open to all types of vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles, atv’s, etc…) old to new and anywhere in between. If it rolls and you would like to show it off while helping the children of St. Jude we would be glad to have you. This is a rain or shine event with concrete parking. In case inclement weather we have space for 200 vehicles in a covered area.
Pre-registration is encouraged. Onsite registration will run from 8am to 11:30am on the day of the show. Your donation of $40 will get entry of one vehicle, an engraved wooden plaque with a picture of you and your vehicle as well as a car show t-shirt in the size of your choosing. Over 50 beautiful trophies are awarded each year. The awards ceremony to begin at 3:30pm.
There will be music, food and fun all day inside the 10,000 sq./ft. covered pavilion with restroom facilities. We will be selling raffle tickets with cash prizes of $250, $500 & $1000. There will also be over a dozen retail vendors selling a wide variety of items, 50/50 ticket sales, valve cover racing as well as both silent and live auctions. Free admission to all spectators, fun for the whole family.
Our corporate sponsorship program is a large part of our donations. Your monetary donation of $250, $500 or $1000 will get your business promoted on our website as well as in print, on banners at the car show and on each of the approx. 400 t-shirts distributed at the car show. Remember, you are a winner for donating to the children of St. Jude.
We want to thank those who donated to and participated in last year’s show. The record amount of $92,000 was donated to St. Jude in 2017. Through the hard work of our club volunteers and with the generosity of the public and our sponsors, we have been able to collectively raise over $560,000 for the children of St. Jude since the inception of this event in 1998. We look forward each year to improving the total donations.
100% of the proceeds go to benefit
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
The Baton Rouge Corvette Club ranks first with the largest total donations to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital of all car clubs in the U.S.
The reason we hold this car show each year is to help
St. Jude stand behind their mission statement:
“We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer”
