The cornerstone of the Hops and Horsepower mission statement is to support our community through our love of car culture. This year we have chosen the Community Care Clinic of Rowan County as our Charity. The CCC is a 501c3 Non-Profit Medical and Dental Clinic Located in Salisbury NC. They provide free medical and dental treatment, diabetes management, and preventative medicine to the undeserved in our community.
100% of the sale of auction items, car show registration, raffle items will go directly to the CCC. (Less Paypal fees.)
Further $1 for each beer sold will be donated to the CCC by New Sarum Brewery.
The event is completely funded and paid for by our support team and sponsors. This allows every penny generated at the event to go directly to charity.
