One Wicked Show Raises Money for Children in Need

September 14, 2013 marked the kick off of the 5th annual Fight for the Cure Car Show located in Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania.  The show, hosted by the Wicked Effects Car Club, had over three hundred vehicles and Mustangs on display flexing their muscle to benefit the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia for children battling cancer, leukemia, and other types of terminal illness.    

“Our show first started five years ago in an effort to benefit a local young man that was battling leukemia.  Sadly a month before the show, he lost his fight. This annual show has been created because of him and still held in his honor”, says Andrew Bealer, coordinator of the show and owner of the Wicked Effects Car Club. “What makes this show extra special is that one hundred percent of the proceeds are donated to kids that need our help the most.  Yeah, we may come out here to see the cool cars and to spend time with friends, but it is for a greater cause that we all can be proud of”, continues Bealer.

The show invited Mustangs and vehicles of all makes and models to the parking lot of a local movie cinema.  The scene resembled something like a movie set, raised over $3,500.00 in charitable contributions and even had guest “celebrities” (some of the children benefitting from the donations) mingling with the attendees.  The only thing this show was missing was a crew member yelling “cut” and it was a good thing because the participants did not want this show to end, especially since it was for a good cause. 

Skylar West

In attendance was one very special “celebrity”- a beautiful one-year-old little girl named Skylar West who is currently battling leukemia.  Skylar and her family attended the show and wanted to help in any way they could to raise more community awareness and support.  Despite her illness, Skylar was active and enjoying the show with her family.  Skylar could be seen giving attendees high fives to go along with her bright smile and pointing at many of the beautiful vehicles on display.
