Palm Springs Cruisin’ Association, Palm Desert, California;
Over 30 years ago, a group of car and hot rod enthusiasts gathered at Shakey’s Pizza in Palm Springs, CA to admire cars, exchange ideas and make new friends. Over the years this group has grown into the Palm Springs Cruisin’ Association with over 300 members who care about their cars, their friends and their community.
Several were patients of Dr. Sebastian George, a noted oncologist, at the time of his tragic death in 2002. Wanting to promote his legacy, they founded the Dr. George Charity Car Show, the proceeds of which help fund the Desert Cancer Foundation, which Dr. George co-founded. The proceeds from this sweepstakes fundraiser, for Shelby American Championship driver Allen Grant’s limited edition Shelby Mustang GT350R, will also be dedicated to helping fund the Desert Cancer Foundation.
The Desert Cancer Foundation was founded more than two decades ago to pay for treatment of cancer patients who lack health insurance or sufficient funds to pay for their medical care.
