CA: Classic Cars Will Be 'Cruisin' For A Wish' This Weekend

From KERO 23: Classic Cars Will Be 'Cruisin' For A Wish' This Weekend
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- The Stockdale Moose Lodge is hosting their ninth annual "Cruisin' For A Wish" car show this Saturday, displaying some of Kern County's finest classic cars, motorcycles, golf carts and even lawnmowers out at the fairgrounds.

They're doing it all to raise money for the local Make A Wish foundation, and with a goal of $28,000 in mind, they say they can help make at least six kids' dreams come true.

"These kids, they're terminally ill, and we hand pick them and depending on how much money we have, grant them their wish to do something special in their life. Like fly over a live volcano in an airplane, or have a birthday party that's an all-out bash, or one kid wants to have his bedroom redone," said Lynn Hubbard, a Moose Club committee member.

The event is free to visitors, but the group said they hope people will make donations. Most of the money raised is from the more than 300 participants who are already signed up. But the group said it's not too late to sign up. It's $65 to sponsor a vehicle class, which includes three plaques with the sponsor’s name. You can pay $125 to have your name imprinted on over 400 show t-shirts. The cost is $75 to rent a 10×10 space for your vendor booth, or you can pay $50 to display your company banner at the Budweiser Pavilion.
