MoToR City ATHS Vintage Truck Show

Benefiting Beaumont Children's, a Children's Miracle Network Hospital

Beaumont Children’s, A Children’s Miracle Network Hospital (CMN), will receive proceeds from a special Truck Show hosted by Love’s Truck Stop and the Motor City Chapter of the American Truck Historical Society, on Sunday, September 22, from 9am-4pm. The show will take place at Love’s Truck Stop in Capac and will feature 20-50 vehicles including historical big rigs and a few classic cars mixed in.

Love’s operates 490 truck stop locations nationwide, five located in Michigan, that provide motorists with 24-hour access to fuel and travel needs.

“We are very committed to helping those in our communities,” said Lea Donnelly, Love’s Truck Stop, Capac general manager. “Our locations provide safe, clean environments to support travelers, but we also want our impact to reach those we serve once they are at home in their community. Supporting programs of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals allows us to aid families during important, and often stressful, times in their lives.”

From August 26 to September 30, Love’s Truck Stops are hosting their annual CMN Balloon Campaign, raising donations for CMN one dollar at a time. The proceeds from the CMN Balloon Campaign at the local stops will specifically benefit the programs of Beaumont Children’s, a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.

In addition to the balloon campaign, the Capac location will host a special afternoon for truck enthusiasts and families to enjoy. Guests attending the show can enjoy food and refreshments while they get a close look at some of the trucking world’s most interesting vehicles. Although there is no admission fee to browse the collection, donations are encouraged and will be given directly to the CMN campaign.

Through special events and grassroots fundraisers, such as Love’s Truck Stop Balloon Campaign and Truck Show, more than 200,000 children benefit from CMN programs at Beaumont Children’s annually.
