Sponsored by Landers Ford, the car show benefits the Collierville Education Foundation (CEF). Since 2009, the Collierville Police Department has donated the proceeds from this community event, with an average of $23,000 per year, to the CEF.
“I’ve been with CEF since 2001 and the car show is the best event we have,” said Terri O’Connor, the CEF managing director. “It’s a family event and it is so satisfying to see families, car owners, volunteers and the Collierville Police Department come together to raise money for Collierville schools.”
Cars, trucks, tractors, military vehicles, fire trucks and bikes are welcome at the show! Owners can preregister their vehicles at colliervillecarshow.com/register (registration to open soon) or day-of registration begins at 7:30am and ends at noon. The entry fee is $25. Registered participants will automatically be entered into a drawing to win cash prizes. Specialty plaques will be awarded by Landers Ford, CEF, Central Church and Mayor Stan Joyner.
Chief Lane stated, "With the great community support for CPD, we hope that everyone comes out to see some great cars. Chief Goodwin started this show many years ago and we want to continue the tradition of putting on one of the best car shows in the mid-south".
