“My 1st car show in over 2 decades with my mental health being at one of my lowest times in my life & all the event hosts went above & beyond to make my experience positive & safe. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. Such a good way to actually breakdown the stigma we all face. Misery doesn’t like company sometimes we just need someone to actually hear. I had the confidence to go to another car show today. Thank you again” - Jenni m.

2019

CHIRNSIDE PARK
Our very first event was held at MPR headquarters in the Chirnside Park industrial estate. A huge number of local supporters of mental health brought down their machines to share with crowds amongst the live music and friendly atmosphere after the bold idea of a car show to raise awareness for mental health became a reality. We raised over 15K which was split between Beyond blue and Eastern Health.
2022

YARRA GLEN RACECOURSE
2022 was the year the world came back to life, and boy did the locals support us. Coming out in droves to our new location, sharing stories of isolation and of hope as we celebrated being able to get back out into the wild. There was a huge number of bikes trucks and cars on display. This year we donated $20,000 the FaPMI program, a branch of Easter health that supports families where a parent has a mental illness.
2023

YARRA GLEN RACECOURSE
A record number of families came out to enjoy all the amazing activities on offer for our third year running. After the threat of rain eased, the sun came out in spectacular fashion as well as a HUGE number of spectacular vehicles including tractors, trucks, bikes and cars (both classic and beloved). As a spectacular show of comradery and community spirit we raised $25,00 for the Metal health impatient ward via Eastern Health.
