Suburban Corvettes of Minnesota Sponsored Events
Spina Bifida Picnic
Suburban Corvettes of Minnesota members share their wheels with kids who live on theirs
Every September the Suburban Corvettes of Minnesota (SCM) teams up with the New Brighton / Mounds View Rotary Club providing games, prizes, and rides for families with Spina Bifida at the Minnesota Spina Bifida Association annual picnic.
The event starts each year with games for the kids provided but the Rotary Club and staffed by local Irondale High School students including at least one FCOA member. Rotary conducts a drawing for prizes; die cast Corvettes are a favorite.
After a BBQ lunch for all provided by the Spina Bifida Association and taking a few minutes to check out the Vettes, it’s TM2CRUZ (time to cruise) as kids with Spina Bifida, their brothers, sisters, and parents line up for a ride.
SCM conducts several raffles annually and donates a percentage of event profits to camp scholarships and equipment upgrades for Spina Bifida families.
The next time you’re rolling through Minnesota and pass a minivan with a handicap plate, don’t be surprised if the kid in the back seat gives you a thumbs up.SCM & Rotary Event Chairman – Mike Neeley
