Auto Show for Arthritis, Saturday, July 17th, 2010
8:00 am - 4:00 pm

The entrance to the Auto Show is at the foot of Hamilton, where you will enter Festival Park on the riverfront.

The Auto Show for Arthritis (formerly Heart of Illinois Classic Auto & Bike Show) is presented by Peoria Plaza Tire, in conjunction with the Arthritis Foundation and Cops for Kids and sound provided by 3D Sound.

We are currently working out details for the upcoming 2010 Auto Show for Arthritis. Check back often for updates!

Proceeds benefit the nearly 300,000 children under the age of 17 affected by juvenile arthritis. Partnered together with Cops for kids we raised over $12,000 in 2008. Cops for Kids supports "Take a kid to a car show". They are an ongoing program, staffed by volunteers, to present to the children of our neighborhoods, police officers as a positive influence in their lives.

The Auto Show for Arthritis is always looking for auto clubs, bike clubs, sponsors, donors, vendors, entertainment and volunteers. If you would like to get involved in this event and help a great cause, please don't hesitate to contact us.
