Bommarito and Gateway Z Club Car Show Sunday to Benefit Kids With Spinal Muscular Atrophy

in Hazelwood is sponsoring a special car show in partnership with Gateway Z Club on Sunday, Sept. 9 that will benefit Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).

“This fund-raising event (is) for the families and kids of Spinal Muscular Atrophy,” said Tim Davidson, ’s communications coordinator, in an email. “The event is a Z Car Show.”  

Tami Dunn, president of the Gateway Z Club, said that Charlee Misch, Miss River City’s Outstanding Teen, will be meeting and greeting guests at the tenth annual Gateway Z Club car show.

“Charlee is heavily involved in supporting and raising funds and awareness of SMA,” Dunn said. “Our little poster girl Brittany will be selling raffle tickets and SMA items from her wheel chair tooling around the parking lot."

The show is free and open to the public and begins at 10 a.m. at Bommarito Nissan. All proceeds from the event will benefit SMA.  If it rains on Sunday, the event will be rescheduled for Sept. 16, Dunn said.
