Sunshine: Fun at full throttle in cancer fundraiser at Club Italia

It’s the car show that helps put the fun in fundraising.

There will be something for everyone at the sixth annual Car Show to Fight Cancer at the Club Italia Sporting Club in Sunshine this Sunday from 10am to 3pm.

Organiser Gulsem Islay says about 600 cars and bikes will be on display, with heaps of kids’ entertainment, stalls, rides, food vans, raffles, auctions, a live band and a pit crew challenge.

Machines on hand will include muscle cars, hot rods, cruisers, lowriders, street machines, mini-trucks, classics, utes, exotics, vintage and Euro cars, and custom and street bikes.

All proceeds will go to the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.

Mrs Islay and her husband, Mem, have raised more than $60,000 from their past fundraiser shows.

“My mother-in-law passed away from cancer and she actually stayed at Peter Mac for a couple of months,” Mrs Islay said.

“The support that we saw was just unbelievable – not just for her, but for us, too.

“They helped us through the hard times. My husband and I made a promise that we wanted to give back for looking after her so well.”

Entry to the car show is free.
