Classic
car show helps Empowering youth
Dave Niley, Kenny Erwin and the Rolling 50s Classic Car Club wrapped up
their 35th Annual Fall Cruise-In Car Show with donations to three
deserving entities: The Shriners Hospitals, Cancer Association of Darke
County and Empowering Darke County Youth.
Coming off a successful event Sept. 9, the Club was able to improve on
its donations the previous two years. Its first support was given to an
“idea” in 2015; in 2016, the club supported the official Empowering
Darke County Youth organization as its inaugural After School Program
was about to begin.
“Hopefully we can do even better next year,” Erwin said. Once again,
Empowering is preparing for its second After School Program to begin.
The 2017 Rolling 50s Classic Car Show featured over 500 vehicles, with
excellent weather bringing out major crowds. One of the organizers
noted early in the afternoon that they were running out of spaces for
the entries.
The car club holds several shows a year for classic car enthusiasts
and, according to Niley, all proceeds go to deserving organizations.
“We love what we do and we love helping the community,” he said.
The Empowering Darke County Youth Mission: Empowering Darke County
Youth provides After School and Summer Tutoring programs to assist
students in the areas of language arts and math with the goal of Strong
Students for a Strong Community.
