The seventh annual Veterans Car, Truck & Bike Show benefiting Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice will take place on Saturday, June 21 (rain date June 22), at 9 a.m. at Cherry Hill High School West, 2101 Chapel Ave West.
The professionally judged show runs from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. with veteran ceremony and judging beginning at 12:00 p.m. A Civil War-era cannon will be fired during the National Anthem at the start of a noon-time ceremony honoring living and deceased local veterans.
There is a $15 registration fee for cars exhibiting at the show; the event is free to spectators, but free-will donations to Samaritan are accepted. The event includes music and food. Proceeds will benefit Samaritan Veterans’ Hospice Services.
Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice cares for patients and families coping with a life-limiting illness. The experience of military service – particularly during traumatic combat assignments – can affect veterans physically, socially and emotionally throughout their lives, and especially at the end of life. Samaritan Veterans’ Hospice Services provide specialized care and education for veterans and their families. Samaritan also offers a Veterans Visiting Veterans program, where veteran patients can be visited by veteran volunteers.
