PHILADELPHIA, PA (May 20, 2022) — American Heritage Credit Union (“American Heritage”) and 98.1 WOGL recently hosted the 18th Annual Car Show and Member Appreciation Day. Over 260 cars and more than 7,000 attendees came out to support the event and helped raise $25,000 for the Kids-N-Hope Foundation (The Foundation), which supports local children’s health and life services, specifically music therapy.
The 18th Annual Car Show and Member Appreciation Day featured hundreds of classic, muscle, and modern show cars. Trophies were awarded to the top cars in the following categories: Antique, Modern, Muscle, Street, Stock, Modified, and Imports. Attendees enjoyed the 40-vendor craft show, visited the family fun zone for inflatable games and the petting zoo, and enjoyed BIG 98.1’s live broadcast.
All proceeds from the event support the Foundation and its mission to enhance the lives of pediatric patients through health and life services, specifically music therapy. Since its inception over 25 years ago, the Foundation has donated over $2.6 million to these programs through local-area hospitals, including Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and other not-for-profit organizations.
“It was an exciting day having the community back on campus to celebrate our wonderful membership and raise $25,000 for the Foundation,” stated Bruce K. Foulke, President & CEO of American Heritage and Founder of The Kids-N-Hope Foundation. “Our Member Appreciation Day is a longstanding tradition which highlights our commitment to serving our membership as well as the local community.
