Nease NJROTC uses car show as unique fundraiser

Posted

Car shows are a huge deal to a lot of people, so much so that they make for great fundraising opportunities, as found by the Nease High School NJROTC program.

It is no secret that high school programs or really any group are always attempting to find unique ideas to raise money, especially since it can go a long way in helping a program like Nease achieve their success.

The Nease NJROTC held its inaugural car show in July, and it was such a success that the program is back and preparing for their second annual showcase, this time on Feb. 24.

The event will be held once again in the Nease High School parking lot and will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Registration to be included in the festivities is now being accepted and the application form can be found and filled out by clicking on the “register your car” tab on the top left corner of the website neasecarshow.com.

Car registration is $20 for the early bird price and increases to $25 for those entering on the day of the show.

Two hundred-plus vehicles, from classic and exotic cars to sports cars and motorcycles. All makes, models and years are accepted and there will be several categories so that the judges can pick the best one for each.

The judges will be those in attendance, who will be able to vote on their favorites with a top three being selected as a “people’s choice award” winner in the best in show representatives in the classic and exotic/sports categories.

There will also be a winner and runner-up being named among the motorcycles present for the show.

Admission is free for all spectators and there will be fun for the entire family, with food, vendors, games, a 50/50 raffle and music provided by DJ Chris.

All proceeds from the show go toward helping the Nease NJROTC program to help their cadets continue to create lasting experiences in high school to better prepare them for their future path in life.

The Nease NJROTC program has garnered its share of recognition both statewide and nationally over the years, and fundraisers like this help make sure that level remains for the next classes of students looking to make a memory for themselves. That tradition of success starts with the support of the local car community.
