The 2008 Classic Auto Show for Arthritis (formerly, Heart of Illinois Classic Auto & Bike Show) was presented by the Arthritis Foundation and Cops for Kids and sponsored by Peoria Plaza Tire. 2008 was definately a record setting year and we would like to thank everyone who joined and supported us. Take a moment and check out this year's winners as well as our fabulous photo gallery.
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 Classic 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.
Remember, this event is not just for car enthusiasts. There is fun activities for everyone!
