I also forgot to add that we have yet to select a charity for this year yet. With the proceeds raised from last year there were donated to Riley Hospital. The money we donated was enough to send several kids to a summer camp that have long term stays at the hospital due to severe illness. This summer camp gets them out and about which raises there confidence and allows them to see that they to can have a normal life and participate in everyday activities like every kid does and teaches them to cope with there illness. I really hope we can do even better this year with a great car count!!
