Car enthusiasts in the Okanagan will be circling June 19th on their calenders.

That day will mark the return of the Boyd Autobody & Glass Father’s Day Charity Car Show at City Park in Kelowna from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Organizers are promising the event will be bigger and better with more cars, entertainment and vendors.

“The goal has always been quite simple: Provide a family-friendly event, surrounded by the driving force of automotive passion projects while raising funds and awareness for local, charitable partners. After a two-year hiatus, we are back and we’re sure you want to celebrate with us,” a news release from the organizers stated.

The car show will raise funds for the Child Advocacy Centre.

Through the support of sponsors, volunteers and associates over the last five years, Boyd has contributed over $142,000 to the Child Advocacy Centre,” said Boyd Auto Body’s general manager Methal Abougoush. “The CAC is a place of help, hope and healing for child survivors of abuse and neglect. Boyd Autobody and Glass’ partnership with the CAC has persevered throughout COVID despite event restrictions and with your support it helps change the lives of vulnerable children in our own community.”

Car registration is now open and advance registration is highly recommended. Please complete the on-line registration form, make a donation or volunteer at www.BringItToBoyd.com.

“I wish I could tell you how excited everyone at Boyd is to be bringing the car show back” said Abougoush. “This event means so much to us and so much to the community. We are proud to be a part of. We’ve been patient and we can’t wait for June 19.”

There will be free shuttle service courtesy of Enterprise Rent-a-Car on the day of the event. It will fun a circle route on a continual basis going to and from the Kelowna Regional Library (1380 Ellis Street) to City Park.
