This has been a very rewarding experience for both myself and my 9 year old daughter. She is learning the importance of acceptance and gratification of helping others, especially those that have served to protect our country. We look forward to it every year, she even enjoys being there at 5:30 in the morning.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
give back to so many vets and their families for the sacrifices they have all made for us.

I have worked with this great group for about 15 year on the car show committee and now on the board. The Volunteers for Veterans Foundation works all year to raise founds to help our vets and active military. Our Committee spends every weekend going out to car shows selling tickets for the give-away-car all year long. We have raised over $1,200,000.00 for our Vets at Loma Linda V.A. hospital in the last 19 years. This years car show is October 3, 2010. It had been a privilege to be a part of this group our motto says it all IF YOU LOVE YOUR FREEDOM THANK A VET

This is one group that Really cares about our Veterans and their needs. By working with the Jerry L.Pettis Veterans Hospital, many Veterans have received the comfort they need for their stay in the Hospital, at home, or help returning to civilian life. The funds raised by the Car Show, Give-A-Way Car and other things being done has help provide the items needed. I am very proud to be a part of this group.
The Great!

FOR THE LAST 19 YEARS MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF HAVE BEEN HONORED TO BE PART OF THE "VETERAN'S CAR SHOW COMMITTEE". THIS GROUP OF DEDICATED PEOPLE WORK ALL YEAR TO PUT ON A ONE DAY CAR SHOW THAT HAS RAISED MONEY TO SUPPORT OUR VETS. EVERY PENNY RAISED IS DONATED TO OUR VETS. THE VETERAN'S HOSPITAL IN OUR COMMUNITY CONSULT WITH OUR BOARD TO MAKE US AWARE OF THE NEEDS OF THE VETERAN'S AND WE OFFER ASISTANCE WITH THE MONEY WE RAISE. SOME OF THE THINGS WE HAVE DONATED TO THRE VETERAN'S ARE TELEPHONES IN THE ROOMS AT THE HOSPITAL,A NEW ABULANCE THAT CAN TRANSPORT THE VETERANS WHEN THEY NEED TO TRAVEL TO OTHER FACILITIES FOR CARE, ASSISTANCE TO VETERANS JUST RETURNING FROM ACTIVE DUTY AND ARE UNABLE TO PAY RENT OR UTILITY BILLS AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON. OUR MEN AND WOMAN IN UNIFORM NEED OUR HELP. OUR GOAL IS TO LET THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES KNOW THEY ARE APPRECIATED FOR ALL THEY DO AND SACRIFICE. "IF YOU LOVE YOUR FREEDOM,THANK A VET"

I am on a Committee that has raised over $1,200,000.00 for our Vets in Loma Linda V.A. hospital in the last 19 years. It started with one man's dream on helping our Veterans in the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Veterans Hospital in Loma Linda and has grown the this: This year October 3, 2010 will be our 20th year. I was thinking if you could take a look at some of our info on the Internet and if you like what you see, how a one day Car Show can raise $ 300,000.00. And have a great time doing it. October 2009 LOMA LINDA, Calif. - - The Annual Veterans’ Car Show will celebrate its 19th year on Sunday, Oct. 4 from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial VA Medical Center in Loma Linda. All proceeds from the show will benefit patient care programs at the VA medical center. Over 1200 custom vehicles are expected in the parking lots of the medical center located at 11201 Benton St. The Veterans’ Car Show also features auto-related vendors and displays, drawings, bingo, pancake breakfast, music, refreshments and veteran benefit information that will make the day a fun filled event for the entire family. The winner of a 1967 Camaro Convertible will be drawn on show day. Spectator admission is free. Originally conceived by deceased Vietnam Veteran Mike Wilburn, the Veterans’ Car Show has become the largest single fundraising event at the medical center. This is my Experienc,Our Committee spends every weekend going out to Car shows and selling Tickets to the Give away Car all year long. We are not just talking a few people we are talking a committee of 25 that takes turns on each and every weekend that our Give Away car goes out. We are committed to making this October 3dr 2010 Show the best. It a great feeling to know you are doing something good for someone who fought for our Freedom. Both of my Young Adult sons volunteer with me as much as they can. My wife is right next to me each and every time.

Volunteers for Veterans Foundation has been the answer to many prayers by the Loma Linda VA Healthcare System staff and veterans. i have had the pleasure of working with them for the past seventeen years. These committee members are the most dedicated, supportive and caring people I have ever met. They have donated more then one million dollars to our Medical Center, providing support for many programs, events and equiment needs that our hospital budget cannot support. These people work all year long to prepare for the wonderful event, Veterans Car Show.The distriution of these funds have gone to support, Homeless Veterans, OIF-OEF, Returning Combat Veterans, Women Veterans Program and awareness,Eyeglasses for those that do not meet the criteria or do not have funds of their own, POW Programs, Social Work Services, which provides food, bus tickets, gas cards, etc. to needy vets, they have in the past also donated a Ambulance Van to transport critical care patients, which has save the Medical Center over 1 million a year. To sum it up the Volunteers for Veterans Foundation and it's Committee members are the epitome of Volunteerism for our American Heroes.
