The Charity Car Show is more than just a showcase of stunning vehicles—it’s a heartfelt tribute to a beloved community member, with all proceeds benefiting the John Paul Yezzo Memorial Scholarship Fund.

The fundraiser honors the memory of John Paul Yezzo, who passed away in 2024 following a courageous battle with brain cancer. The scholarship fund in his name will support educational opportunities for local students, continuing his legacy of kindness and community involvement.

St. Mel’s Church, a Roman Catholic parish, has served the local community for decades. Its Men’s Club brings together fathers, grandfathers, and guardians from the parish to build fellowship through service, fundraisers, social outings, and charitable efforts that uplift others.
