We will be presenting some of the finest automobiles in the Commonwealth and beyond to raise funds to support the UVA Cancer Center Patient Care Fund. We are blessed to have one of the top 3% of Cancer Centers in the nation which treats thousands of patients each year. Our donations assist the UVA Cancer Center in helping those cancer patients and their families who are facing financial hardship as well as coping with the emotional and physical trauma of fighting this disease.
