Showtime Car Culture Raises >$8,000 for Dove House

MOORESVILLE, N.C. - Nov. 12, 2020 - PRLog -- The first Showtime Hots Rods + Family Fun fueled by Lake Norman Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram exceeded all expectations by raising more than $8,000 for Dove House Children's Advocacy Center. The car show, which was held in the Hobby Lobby parking lot off Highway 150 in Mooresville on Sunday, November 1, saw tremendous support from car owners, local businesses, and area car lovers alike – with all proceeds from the event benefitting the charity.

"We are exceptionally pleased with the turnout we had from both car owners and enthusiasts," said Showtime Principal and event creator Bryan Viger. "After a rain delay that pushed the show back a week, we were blessed to have so many folks rearrange their schedules to be there for our inaugural event."

The show featured about 100 vintage rides, classics, exotics, and muscle cars from around LKN and across the state. Pedulla, Inc. came out in force, bringing 10 vintage fire trucks that were a hit with children and adults alike. Walter Finley & April Dawn provided the entertainment, which was sponsored by Lake Norman Patio and Game Rooms. Lowes Home Improvement generously provided generators, staging space and supplies for the event. Food trucks, local businesses and even a dyno trailer ensured that there was something for everyone to enjoy – all for a tremendously important cause.

"The event raised funds that are needed – particularly in these times – for Dove House to carry out its essential work of assisting victims of child sexual abuse and their non-offending family members," noted Jack Grossman, who recently retired from his longstanding position of fundraising for Dove House.

Viger, a retired OEM executive who now leads performance marketing company Octane, LLC, and his team are anticipating even larger shows next year, when COVID restrictions are eased and more cars can be placed in the space. "We have tentatively scheduled dates of April 25 and October 3, 2021, for next year's events," he notes.
