Welcome to Cars For Our Troops
The "Cars for Our Troops 7th Annual Exotic & Luxury Car Show" will be held November 4th from 10am to 1pm at Tapestry Park. With 50+ exotic cars in attendance, we plan to raise over $15,000 for the Homes for Our Troops organization. Our commitment has always been to donate 100% of monies raised to Homes For Our Troops, which builds specially adapted homes for our veterans injured in Iraq and Afghanistan since September 11, 2001.
For 2017, our fundraiser will benefit Marine Corporal Timothy Read. During his second deployment, on Oct. 15, 2010, he was on patrol with the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines in Marjah, Afghanistan, when he stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED). The blast resulted in the loss of his left leg above the knee in addition to other injuries. He underwent numerous surgeries and rigorous rehabilitation therapies at Walter Reed Medical Center, Balboa Navy Medical Hospital, and the VA in Tampa. While being treated in Tampa, he met his wife Anh Lan Du, who works in the hospital’s prosthetics department. Proceeds from the 2016 event will help support Cpl. Read and his family, as they begin this next chapter in their lives in Tampa, FL.
