Great Day, Great Fun: Berkeley College 8th Annual Charity Car Show

I would like to thank everyone who was able to come out and join us this past Sunday for Berkeley College's 8th Annual Charity Car show! The turnout was amazing and everyone had a great time coming together to help raise money for a very important cause.

I spent the whole day at the event and took a ton of photos which I wanted to post for everyone to see. I made it into a little slide show so it's a little more interactive and entertaining for all my followers! Please have a look for yourself below:


See, now don't you feel like you were there yourself? Ok, not quite, but you can get the feel for the day. There were a lot of cool cars as you can see and we had a few people really dress their cars up in the spirit of Halloween! This was my 3rd year attending the car show, and again, all records were broken this year, which is great news. Berkeley College works on making their events bigger and better than previous years and it wouldn't be possible without the support of the students and staff, so we all thank you so much!

I am happy to share with you that this event helped raised over $26,000 towards a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. That is great news! I will try to obtain a final count as to how many cars ended up entering into the show, but we are looking to continue breaking these records year after year!

Make sure if you weren't able to join us this year, that you clear your schedule now and come out for the day! You will get to contribute to a great cause and have a ton of fun with your friends and family...how can it get any better than that?

On another note, I wanted to make quick mention of a project I am going to be helping out with over the next few weeks. The project was created by Berkeley Cares and is called "Cards for the troops." We'd like to get as many people involved as possible! Once I have some more information, I will be posting all about it, but please if you have interest in joining us to send troops holiday cards this holiday season, please email myself at lyndsay.wright@Yahoo.com or feel free to email: nll@berkeleycollege.edu letting us know you'd be interested in helping us out!

Why not brighten up the troops holiday season when they have to be away from their families? It's a great project and I am happy to say I will be a part of it! I'll keep you posted as the information becomes available to me, but please keep it in mind!

I hope everyone is having a great and successful quarter! It's hard to believe October is already coming to an end! Where is the time going.....?
