Every year, The Event reminds us that the automotive community is about far more than incredible cars. It’s about bringing passionate people together to create something meaningful.

We’re incredibly proud to share that this year’s Event 5 was another tremendous success, bringing together enthusiasts, collectors, industry partners, sponsors, and families for a day centered around one common goal: supporting Make-A-Wish.

From classics and modern exotics to enthusiast builds and one-of-a-kind collections, the vehicles on display at Ariel-Foundation Park in Mount Vernon, Ohio, represented the very best of automotive passion. But beyond the horsepower and craftsmanship, the true highlight of the day was seeing hundreds of people come together to support children facing critical illnesses.

A Partnership That Continues to Grow

Our relationship with Make-A-Wish remains one of the most rewarding aspects of The Event 5.

Every dollar raised helps bring hope, strength, and joy to children and families during some of life’s most difficult moments. Being able to combine our passion for automobiles with an organization that creates life-changing experiences is something we never take for granted.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who purchased tickets, made donations, participated in the silent auction, volunteered their time, or simply attended to support the cause. Every contribution made a difference.

Thank You to Our Sponsors and Partners
