The 10th Annual Cruisin’ for A Cure Car Show, hosted by New Dimensions Federal Credit Union, on June 1, 2024, was a huge success! Held at the Robert LaFleur Airport, the event saw 168 car owners and enthusiasts as well as hundreds of spectators come together for a day filled with classic cars and community spirit, all in support of a great cause.

With the sun shining brightly, the car show featured a dazzling array of vehicles, from timeless classics to the latest models. The highlight of the day was the remarkable total of $21,221.49 raised for the Maine Children’s Cancer Program (MCCP), located in Scarborough, a division of the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital. This generous donation will provide essential support and funding for children fighting cancer.

The event’s excitement peaked with the presentation of awards, including the People’s Choice Award to David Weeks for his beautiful 1951 Convertible Mercury and the Best of Show Award to Mike Reynolds for his striking 1969 Chevy Camaro RS.

“We’re thrilled with the success of this year’s event and deeply grateful for the support from our community, sponsors, and volunteers,” said Ryan Poulin, CEO of New Dimensions Federal Credit Union. “It’s amazing to see how our collective efforts make a real impact in the fight against childhood cancer in Maine.”
