As of today, after 20 years, Cruisin’™ For A Cure has saved over 3,000 lives!! This event is held in September, “National Prostrate Cancer Awareness Month” and has raised over $2,000,000 for The Cure!! Again this year, The KSK Cancer Center of Irvine is the beneficiary. The success of this event has spawned other similar shows in New York, Texas, and Ontario, Canada.
At 4:00am, the gates opened for the 20th Annual Cruisin’™ For A Cure, the largest single day charity car cruise and show in the country. At 7:30am, the “Drive Against Prostate Cancer Van” opened for FREE PSA cancer screenings. From its inception, 200,000 spectators have contributed to its success. Year after year hundreds of vendors have contributed and provided information on their latest products; Meguiars, Westcom, Leons Transmissions, AAA, So Cal Ford Dealers, Connell Chevrolet, Guaranty Chevrolet, Budnik, Lucas Oil, Classic Industries, Bomel Construction, Original Parts Group and O’Reilly.
During the day, “The Answer”, celebrating their 54th anniversary, played the greatest rock & roll. “Big City Hillbillies” also played at the event all day. The popular “For Sale” area included 60+ cars. The Master of Ceremony’s, Rex McMillan, did a great job. Awards were given to 60 deserving cars.
Thanks to all of you who support this event.
See you next year on September 26, 2020.
