CAVALCADE OF CARS GIVES BACK!

The Stripetacular event sponsored by Auburn Auto Group was also occurring during the Cavalcade of Cars show. The area’s best pinstripers came to the New York State Fairgrounds to pinstripe our attendees’ personal items all weekend long to raise money and help give back to our community. All of the proceeds made during the event was donated back.

During the duration of the event, the Stripetacular team raised a total of $3,500 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of CNY!
