Diamond Auto Collision 2nd annual Car & Bike Show to benefit Meals on Wheels

Written By MIKE BAKER

From Model T's to Lamborghinis, these automotive jewels will be buffed, polished and on display along with so much more. 

The Albion-Bolton Community Centre, located at 150 Queen Street South in Bolton, is the place to be on Friday August 9, 2019 for Diamond Auto Collision's 2nd Annual Car & Bike Show. This interactive community-based fundraising event is part of Bolton's Midnight Madness that attracts over 4,000 individuals annually.

Last year over 150 cars, 40 bikes and 25 tow trucks lined up to compete for the coveted Diamond Flame Trophies, helping to raise over $8100 for Caledon Meals on Wheels (CMOW).  

This year, in addition to the live DJ, there is a bouncy castle, games for youth & sports enthusiasts, food trucks, henna tattooing, face painting, mini massage & manicure stations and a vendors market. There are also a host of prizes to be won throughout the night including a big screen television, tablet, smoker, garage and automotive equipment.

“This event not only showcases some of the region's finest automotive technology,” states Ricky Tamber, Diamond Auto Collision's Owner, “it also hosts a variety of activities for people of all ages helping to raise money for an incredible agency.”

100 percent of all funds raised will go to Caledon Meals on Wheels; an organization dedicated to caring for residents living in Caledon, Orangeville and the surrounding communities.  CMOW provides hot and frozen meals services to seniors, individuals with disabilities, chronic illness or who have undergone major surgery.  In addition, they offer senior social and wellness programming and friendly visiting services. 

Though the event is free for the public to meander, tickets to register a car, bike or tow truck in the show are $10. There are also raffle prize & 50/50 draws with 100% of all funds raised going to CMOW. General parking for both the car show and Midnight Madness is available and donations are gratefully accepted.  The fun begins at 5PM and wraps up with the prize draws and awards ceremony at 9PM. 

To purchase a Car Show Registration ticket, stop by the Caledon Cruisers booth at the Canadian Tire parking lot on Thursday night (weather permitting), or drop by Caledon Meals on Wheels office located at 10 McEwan Drive West in Bolton, or visit Diamond Auto Collision at 159 Industrial Road in Bolton. 

“We are so fortunate to have partnered with Diamond Auto Collision.” states Christine Sevigny, CMOW's Executive Director, “Not only are they helping us to raise the necessary funds to maintain our programs and services, they are helping us to take our message to the community.”
