Chandler, Arizona is set to host an inaugural car show that promises to be a vibrant celebration of automotive culture and community spirit. The event, titled "Road to Riches," will take place on Saturday, April 12th, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Chandler City Hall Parking Garage. This free gathering aims to bring together car enthusiasts and families for a day filled with excitement and entertainment. Participants can expect a showcase of impressive vehicles ranging from classic antiques to high-performance muscle cars. The event also features live music from a DJ, creating a lively atmosphere perfect for all ages.

In addition to the dazzling array of automobiles, visitors will have the opportunity to explore various booths run by local nonprofit organizations. These groups will share information about their initiatives and the positive impact they are making within the community. Food trucks will line the venue, offering a diverse selection of culinary delights to satisfy every palate. The organizers encourage attendees to come hungry and ready to enjoy a delightful meal while supporting these worthy causes. Moreover, those who wish to display their own vehicles can register online for a modest fee, with proceeds benefiting the Chandler Public Housing Authority's Road to Riches program aimed at promoting financial literacy and self-sufficiency among residents.

The city’s commitment to fostering financial education extends beyond this one-day event. Last autumn, the Housing and Redevelopment Division collaborated with the BAM Foundation and Money Vehicle to introduce free workshops on financial literacy for youth living in public housing and participants in the Family Self-Sufficiency program. By empowering individuals with essential financial skills, these ongoing efforts seek to help low-income families achieve greater stability and independence. The success of such programs highlights the importance of community collaboration in building a brighter future for everyone involved.
