For the past 10 years Sick Rides 4 Sick Kids (SR4SK) has made it their mission to host a charity car show annually in support of various childrens charities. Over the years SR4SK has branched off into other charities such as Canadian Mental Health Association Oshawa, Autism Ontario Durham and fundraising for a local family. As well, the evolution of SR4SK involved adding new events and fundraisers to their arsenal. From Christmas Food & Toy Drives in support of Durham Regional Police to adding pet food & supply drives as well as traditional food drives to our car shows (supporting organizations such as; Humane Society of Durham Region, Seventh Day Adventist Church and St. Vincents Kitchen downtown Oshawa). Our last event was held in 2019 and was in support of Autism Ontario Durham where we successfully raised $6,500. As well for the same event, we donated over $2,000 in pet food and supplies to Humane Society of Durham Region and food to St. Vincents Kitchen Oshawa. In 2022, SR4SK celebrates its 10 year anniversary of its establishment by hosting an event at Canlan Sports Oshawa (1401 Phillip Murray Avenue) on August 6th, 2022 beginning at 8am.Our event will include a "show and shine" of many cars, trucks, SUV's, bikes, muscle cars and classics that have been modified, restored or completely custom. We will also be having a variety of raffles, a 50/50 draw, live games and over 60 awards. Wild Wing Restaurant and Lounge will be our exclusive food provider and we will have our title sponsor Weruva International on site giving away samples of their amazing pet foods (even offering taste tests). We will have a live DJ to provide music throughout as well as a live performance by a Toronto artist. Our awards will vary from classed awards (i.e. Honda 1st to 3rd), specialty awards (i.e. Sickest Paint, Sickest Wheel & Tire) and our more elite awards (Ray Velji Dedication Award, Kids Choice and Domenic Degiorgio Bravery Award [To be awarded to Steven Spice, a young boy battling Chiari and being the definition of Bravery]. Our event is family and children friendly and 100% of proceeds will be donated to Autism Ontario Durham. We will also be accepting donations for the Pet food and supply drive in support of Humane Society of Durham Region. Through our car show events, we bring an entire community together to raise money for a very worthy charity.
