The 5th Annual Moroso Performance Charity Car Show benefiting the CT Children’s Foundation was a tremendous success, and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of our car community, sponsors, donors, volunteers, and attendees.
After the rain forecast forced us to postpone to an entirely different weekend, we didn't know what to expect for a turnout. Well, the car community showed up and showed out; nearly 400 cars rolled through the gates for a day filled with incredible vehicles, great conversations, familiar faces, and a shared passion for the car community. From classics and muscle cars to imports, trucks, and everything in between, the show featured an amazing assortment of vehicles from across New England and the Tri-State area. One of the best parts of the day was seeing so many returning friends and familiar faces alongside new faces joining us for the first time. The enthusiasm and generosity of everyone who attended made the event truly special. Most importantly, together we were able to raise an incredible $8,000 for the CT Children’s Foundation. We are proud to be able to bring our community together for a great cause and make a meaningful difference for Connecticut children and families. A huge THANK YOU goes out to everyone who helped make this year’s event possible:To everyone who brought a car: Thank you for sharing your pride and joy with us and making the show such a spectacular display of automotive passion.
To our attendees: Thank you for spending the day with us, supporting the cause, and helping create the incredible atmosphere that makes this event so special.
To our sponsors: Your continued support allows us to grow this event year after year and give back to an organization doing important work in our community.
To our staff, volunteers, and everyone behind the scenes: So much work goes into putting an event like this together, and we are incredibly grateful for the time, energy, and dedication you put in to make the day a success.
Five years in, the Moroso Performance Charity Car Show continues to prove just how powerful the car community can be when we come together for a good cause. We’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year. Until then, thank you for making the 5th Annual Moroso Performance Charity Car Show one to remember!From all of us at Moroso Performance — thank you for helping us give back and keep this tradition going!
