Big money raised at car show

American Heritage Credit Union and BIG 98.1 recently hosted the 20th Annual Car Show and Member Appreciation Day. More than 250 cars and over 8,000 attendees came out to support the event, which raised $25,000 for the Kids-N-Hope Foundation.

The Car Show and Member Appreciation Day featured hundreds of classic, muscle and modern show cars. Trophies were awarded to the top cars in the following categories: Antique, Modern, Muscle, Street, Stock, Modified, Imports and Exotics. Attendees shopped at the 40-vendor craft show, visited the petting zoo and enjoyed BIG 98.1’s live broadcast.

All proceeds from the event support the foundation and its mission to enhance the lives of pediatric patients through health and life services, specifically music therapy. Since its inception, the foundation has donated more than $3.8 million to these programs through local hospitals, like Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and other not-for-profit organizations.

“It was a beautiful day to have the community as well as our members on campus to enjoy the event festivities,” said Bruce K. Foulke, president and CEO of American Heritage and founder of the Kids-N-Hope Foundation. “Our Member Appreciation Day is a longstanding tradition, which highlights our commitment to serving our membership as well as the local community. During this event, we are also able to bring awareness to the Kids-N-Hope Foundation’s mission to support child life services and creative outlets like music therapy to children undergoing medical treatment.”
