The weekend of April 25-26, 2009 was a special one for some very
special children, as the 4th annual Rev'ved Up 4 Kidz charity auction
and car show raised money for The Center for Learning Unlimited.
Through the help of many volunteers and the generosity of many
individuals, local businesses and national corporations, Edelbrock
hosted a gala and charity auction on Saturday, April 25. The evening
opened with a silent auction in Vic Edelbrock's Garage filled with
collectible classic cars. Car and Driver Radio host, Alan Taylor, was
the master of ceremonies and utilized his talent with the microphone to
auction off world class vacations, fine wines, Lakers and Dodgers
tickets, PGA VIP passes donated by Tiger Woods, a ride on the Goodyear
Blimp and VIP passes to Live with Regis and Kelly.
The festivities and fundraising continued Sunday, April 26 at the
Rev'ved Up 4 Kidz car show. This 4th installment took place at the
Edelbrock Corporation in Torrance, California. Sunday's affair
attracted 375 show car entries and more than 5,000 attendees. Local
band, "The Sprockets" entertained the crowd with a variety of classic
rock-n-roll hits, while vendors provided a sampling of some great food
and drinks. "This weekend is a testament to the dedication of our
community, partners, employees and friends donating their time and
dollars to such a wonderful cause. I am so proud of how the event
continues to grow. My commitment to these causes is something that I am
very passionate about", stated event organizer and supporter, Christi
Edelbrock.
