For more than four decades, the Charity Auto Show has brought together car enthusiasts, families, collectors, and community leaders for a shared purpose: celebrating automotive passion while accelerating progress toward a world without arthritis.

What began in 1982 as a local gathering of car lovers has grown into one of the region’s most anticipated summer traditions. Today, the show attracts thousands of spectators and hundreds of remarkable vehicles—from timeless classics and muscle cars to modern exotics and expertly restored favorites. Yet what truly sets this event apart isn’t just what you see on the show field — it’s the impact created by everyone who attends.

Driven by Mission
Proceeds from the Charity Auto Show support the work of the Arthritis Foundation, the leading organization dedicated to conquering arthritis — a condition that affects millions of Americans and remains the nation’s leading cause of disability.

By joining us, you help advance:
Breakthrough research aimed at better treatments and, ultimately, a cure
Advocacy efforts that expand access to care and improve quality of life
Life-changing resources for individuals and families navigating arthritis
Community connections that ensure no one faces this disease alone
Every engine rev, every conversation, and every shared moment contributes to meaningful progress for people living with arthritis.

Powered by Community
The Charity Auto Show is made possible by an extraordinary network of volunteers, partners, and civic leaders who believe in the power of community-driven impact. From longtime supporters who have helped shape the event’s legacy to new volunteers bringing fresh energy and ideas, this show is truly built by people who care.

Our event leadership and planning committees work year-round to create an experience that is welcoming, well-organized, and memorable for guests of all ages. Their dedication ensures the show continues to evolve while staying rooted in the spirit that launched it more than 40 years ago: generosity, connection, and purpose.

More Than a Car Show
Whether you attend for the vehicles, the entertainment, the atmosphere, or the cause, you become part of something bigger than a weekend event. The Charity Auto Show is a place where generations gather, friendships form, and a shared love of cars fuels real change.

When you walk the show grounds, you’re not just admiring craftsmanship — you’re helping drive hope forward.
