A Charitable Cause

But the Fat Guys Auto Parts Car Show was more than just a celebration of cars; it was also a means to support a worthy cause. Since 2018, the event has been raising funds for the George Jeffrey Children's Foundation, a local organization dedicated to providing essential services and support to children in need. Through car registrations, individual and corporate donations, and beer sales, the car show has become a significant contributor to the foundation's efforts, raising close to $50,000 over the years.

A Rewarding Partnership

For the team at Fat Guys Auto Parts, hosting the annual car show is a labor of love. "The car show is a lot of work, but we love hosting it and we really like working with the team at George Jeffrey Children's Foundation," said Angela Cadorin, the owner of Fat Guys Auto Parts. "We know we are supporting a great cause, too." This sentiment was echoed by Ivana Chies, a retired teacher and board member of the George Jeffrey Children's Foundation, who volunteered at the event. "As a board member of George Jeffrey Children's Foundation, I know how important George Jeffrey Children's Centre is to our community, and I also know how much it means to receive financial support from our community. Thank you, Fat Guys Auto Parts."

A Tradition of Giving

With this year's donation of $8,873.50, the Fat Guys Auto Parts Car Show has once again demonstrated its commitment to making a difference in the lives of local children. The event has become a cherished tradition, a celebration of automotive passion and community spirit, all while supporting a cause that is close to the hearts of everyone involved.
