WOW - what a show! We cannot THANK YOU enough for making our first Wheels for Warriors: Maine's Premier Car Show a massive success! It would not have been possible without the support from the community, volunteers and business partners! We cannot wait to bring the show back for 2025!!
We also wanted to provide a little recap of the show because, without your support, this would not have been possible!
Our overall mission was to raise money and support The Marino Project initiatives, and we exceeded that goal! With the support of our community and partners, we raised $30,345 to help give Maine Military members access to the resources they need and deserve!! A reminder that 100% of that money goes to our organization - The Marino Project.
