“We just keep growing and keep expanding, and it’s turned into a really, really nice event to benefit our individuals.”

The McGuire Memorial Foundation will be holding their 7th Annual Car Cruise on Sunday, August 14 at Irvine Park in Beaver from Noon until 4 PM. Allison Dixon, who is the Director of Development & Operations for the McGuire Memorial Foundation, joined Matt Drzik on the August 11 edition of A.M. Beaver County to preview all of the elements of this year’s Car Cruise.

Those elements include music from DJ Ryder, food trucks, a 50/50 drawing and a giant basket raffle–not to mention the hundreds of classic hot rods that will be in and surrounding Irvine Park. “I know we’ve had well over a thousand [cars] these last few years,” Dixon said. “It started as a small initiative up at our parking lot at the main site in New Brighton, and we quickly outgrew that location.” Proceeds from this event will benefit the residents at McGuire Memorial who suffer with severe disabilities and medical conditions.
