Quiring Trucking and Gravel Sales raised new record of $22,000 in donations for 91原创 Hospice Society in its recent fourth annual Country Car Show in Aldergrove.
Alena Buis and Dennis Quiring, husband and wife organizers for the fundraiser, said hospice was picked this year because they experienced first-hand the support hospice offers people after they lose a loved one.
鈥淲e decided to support the hospice society because it鈥檚 near and dear to our hearts. Dennis鈥� mother passed away in February and we spent a lot of time there and appreciated their support, so we thought this would be great to do,鈥� Buis explained.
Entry was by donation, and car enthusiasts could pay a minimum donation of $20 to display their classic cars.
Local businesses such as Anderlini Excavating, Vantage Mechanical, and Egg Pro West donated food and funds for the barbecue.
A raffle was also held thanks to donations from local businesses and business owners.
鈥淎 lot of the vehicles are from the businesses that have supported the car show,鈥� Buis said.
Brent Anderlini, owner of Anderlini Excavating, brought his 1934 Ford to the car show, which he inherited from his late father.
鈥淭his car has been to every 91原创 Cruise-In鈥� I like every car, I like the events,鈥� he said.
Last year the car show raised $12,000.
The upcoming 91原创 Good Times Cruise-In Show takes place on Saturday, Sept. 9 at the Aldergrove Legion branch on Fraser Highway.
