Maine Oxy and the New England
School of Metalwork have hosted annual car shows since 2005.
The car shows over time have expanded from one show to three
shows a year. Events are held at our headquarters in
Auburn, Maine and at our branch store locations in Brewer,
Maine and Hooksett, New Hampshire. These events have
developed into our largest fund raisers. We have grown
from twenty-two show cars to over one hundred and forty.
The planning and coordination for the next years benefit
starts the day after our last show.
Our number one goal is to raise money for a great cause,
where all proceeds are donated to organizations such as the
Pine Tree Society or Camp CaPella, where children with
disabilities can participate and appreciate the thrill and
adventure of a summer camp experience.
Secondly, we want to bring a special day for the car
enthusiast, many whom are regular customers. The door
prizes and silent auction item are primarily donated by our
dedicated vendors such as Hypertherm, Lincoln Electric,
Bremer Industries and Pferd Abrasives to name a few.
We further benefit from the team building that unites our
employees and their family members by volunteering at our
organized efforts. All the personnel working the show
volunteer their time and effort from set up to clean-up.
Many volunteers dedicated their time for all three events.
We feel we get back a lot more in return for our
dedicated efforts and the plan is to continue developing the
events and more importantly, help serve the community. |
