Grandview car show raises money for donating thanksgiving turkeys

The Yakima Valley Impala Car Club hosted a thriving open-class car show in Grandview, drawing car enthusiasts and raising money for community aid. President Robert Rodriguez highlighted the event's growth from 40 cars at its start to a vibrant showcase of vehicles, including muscle cars and low riders. The funds raised support local charities, specifically providing meals for the Women’s Lighthouse in Sunnyside, where the club delivers 30 to 40 meals each year. Rodriguez expressed the club's commitment to engaging younger generations in car culture, ensuring the continuation of the low rider and car show scenes. The increasing number of vendors and attendees reflects the event's rising popularity and community support.

The car club aims to keep its charitable efforts aligned with its passion for cars, contributing positively to the community. Upcoming events include participation in the Sunnyside Sun Days in September, further enhancing their outreach. This initiative not only fosters local car culture but also strengthens community ties through charitable giving.
