The cause
Every car that shows up, every ticket sold, every sponsor’s name on the board is there for the same reason.
A car like these spends most of its life behind a closed door. It comes out on a good Sunday, gets seen by whoever happens to be on the same stretch of road, and goes back in.
Once a summer, we open the door. The same cars, the same roads, the same afternoon — except that this time something comes of it.
Nobody plans on the Children’s. Families get there because of something that happened that week, to a kid who was fine the week before.
Whatever is waiting for them when they walk in, somebody paid for it long before they knew they would need it. That is the part we can help with. What the Foundation does with the money after that, they understand far better than we do.
Once the day is over, we will tell you what reached the Foundation, down to the dollar. Before that we would only be guessing, and this is not a thing to guess about.
