Race car champion Bobby Rahal was a special guest at the fourth annual Cars for a Cause June 13 at Iron Gate Motor Condos. The private event to benefit Loaves and Fishes Community Services and 360 Youth Services was hosted by Dawn and Dave Kelsch with Julie and George Mann.

“The event is unique in that there are no auctions, raffles or speeches, so guests can relax and enjoy the live entertainment and great food, along with the rare and exotic cars in a very different venue,” Kelsch says. “The proceeds are generated entirely through ticket sales and sponsorships. People understand they are supporting two great charitable organizations and also know that there are opportunities to donate outside of the event if they want to provide additional support.”

George Mann, the owner of Iron Gate Motor Condos adds, “The event was well attended and had an awesome lineup of cars. [There was] great food and drink … supporting two amazing organizations.”

More than $250,000 has been raised since the event’s inception.
