Jacksonville, FL Luxury and Exotic Car Show to benefit local, wounded Marine.

On October 15, 2011 from 10AM-1PM at the Wild Wing Cafe on Southside Blvd. we will be hosting an exotic and luxury car show and cruise fundraiser for local Marine Corporal Tyler Southern.

Tyler was on his second deployment when he lost both of his legs above the knees, his right arm above the elbow, and shattered his left arm and hand after stepping on an IED in Afghanistan last May.
The funds raised will be donated to Homes for our Troops to help offset the cost of a home being built for Tyler and his wife.

Please come out and show your support for Tyler and the sacrifices he made for our country! We look forward to seeing you out there and thank you ahead of time for your support!

Registration is $50 per car. ALL money collected through entrant fees and donations will be donated to the Homes for Our Troops Organization for the Southern Family build. Please email carsforourtroops@yahoo.com if you are interested in entering your car in the show.

Hey Gene, I responded to your email. Hope you got it and that it wasn't kicked to your spam. It's been doing that to some people. Anyways, we're excited to have you! Please tell anyone you know with exotic and high-end luxury cars so we can have the best show possible. Thanks again for your support!
