Steve Cordes, the Executive Director of Youth Opportunities Unlimited (YOU), was on hand on September 4, 2014, to receive a cheque from London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® (LSTAR) President Jim Holody for $3,732.76. The funds were raised through the Association’s Kool Wheels Charity Bike and Auto Show, which took place on June 14 and was sponsored by Dalmar Motors.
Cole Powell, 2013 NASCAR Whelan Series Rookie of the Year, made a special guest appearance and the Ghostbuster Car was on hand for inspection… and sliming. Among this year’s entrants were a 1955 Chevrolet pickup truck, a 1985 Ferrari GTO, a 1988 Cadillac Limousine and a 1995 Rolls Royce Flying Spur, as well as a 2005 Ultima Chopper and a 2001 Smith Custom Motor Bike. Music was provided by the band Mutual Release and breakfast and lunch was available onsite from YOU’s Cornerstone Café.
“It was a fun day for a great cause,” said Jim Holody, LSTAR President. “YOU is performing a vital function in our community – making sure troubled kids don’t fall through the cracks and are able to go on to realize their full potential.”
