The Show and Go Car Show for Charity began in 1999 and has provided the community of car enthusiasts with twelve amazing car shows since then. The idea began with Gary Echito, Riverside East Rotarian and Old Farts Racing Team Member. The key mission of the Rotary Club is to serve their community and those in need around the world. The Show and Go Car Show raises funds for a variety of local charities, reportedly donating over $300,000 from the annual Show and Go car shows.

Riverside’s own K & N Filters, Wayne’s Engine Rebuilders, and Riverside Mission Florists are major sponsors of this event.
