Save The Date: Chili's St. Jude Car Show and Benefit

Submitted by Trisha Schlackman

The second annual Chili’s St. Jude Car Show and Benefit is being held at Chili’s at 4000 Jericho Turnpike, East Northport on Saturday, August 9th from 11am-4pm. This event is East to West Classic Car’s largest fundraiser of the year and is a 100% give back event supporting the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, founded in 1962, is a pediatric treatment and research facility focused on children’s catastrophic diseases.

Last year was a great success we exceeded our monetary goals. This year we hope to raise even more. We would like to invite your organization to our event. If you are unable to attend, we would appreciate it if you could publish information about the event prior to August 9th. The children of St. Jude truly need your support.

Activities at the event will include a chance to view many classic cars, live music by PETER MAZZEO & THE HIT SQUAD, raffles from over 20 sponsors, food, and Mr. Softee. Goody Bags are available for the first 100 arrivals. Pre-registration is available.

East to West Classic Cars was founded by Dean Nichol because of his life-long passion for classic cars. According to Dean, “They evoke memories of a certain time and place that are forever in our hearts. This passion inspired me to use the Classics as a vessel to raise money in honor of my Dad “Big Al” who was stricken with Alzheimer’s Disease.”

East to West’s first event was Big Al’s Classic Car Event in 2009. It was a great success and helped to launch East to West Classic Car Club. Pioneered by a group of local car enthusiasts with the main focus on local charities/philanthropy, their vision has grown with the help of core Club Members. They have provided a vessel for numerous charities. They are now entering their fifth year of 100% give back to every event.

East to West Classic Cars has sponsored events that benefit: Long Island Harvest, Hope for the Warriors, Wounded Warriors, Veterans Parade NYC, Ronald McDonald House of Long Island, Kings Park St Patricks Parade, St. Jude Children’s Hospital, Huntington Moose Lodge of Greenlawn, Assisted Living Homes, Angels without Faces, Long Island Alzheimer’s Association, Salvation Army of E Northport, and East Northport Chamber of Commerce.
