Cruise for a Cause: The 2024 Toy Drive in Old Town Clovis!

🎄🔥 Warm up those engines and bring the Christmas spirit to life! On Sunday, December 8th, from 11 AM to 1 PM, Old Town Clovis turns into a gearhead’s North Pole. Bring your classic car (or just your big heart) and cruise the streets while spreading joy.

📍 Where: Centennial Plaza (Pollasky & Bullard)
🎁 What to Bring: A new, unwrapped toy
🚛 Goal: Fill our massive 32-foot trailer with toys and bikes (last year, we packed a 20-footer—let’s top it!)

No classic car? No problem! Rain or shine, everyone is welcome to drop off a toy and join the fun.

Every toy will go to AMOR Relief, who will wrap and deliver them to kids in Mendota, making this Christmas brighter for families who need it most.

✨ Let’s make this season unforgettable for hundreds of children. Bring your family, friends, and holiday cheer—together, we can make magic happen! Please share with your friends.

We’ll see you there, Clovis! 🎅🚗

🏦 Sponsorship Spotlight: Fresno First Bank 🏦

I’ll be honest—banking wasn’t something I gave much thought to…until Fresno First Bank caught my attention. Whether it’s their hilarious commercials, fun-filled FSU tailgates, or hearing from friends about how much they love banking with them, FFB.Bank has a way of standing out.

About six months ago, Hot Rod Coalition made the switch to Fresno First Bank, and the experience has been fantastic. From their seamless onboarding process to their incredible accessibility—whether online, on social media, through their chat feature, or in person—they’ve made every step easy and enjoyable.

Fresno First Bank offers a full range of services to meet both personal and business banking needs, including checking, savings, loans, mobile banking, cash management, and more. They’ve got everything you need in a bank, paired with top-notch service.

Most importantly, Fresno First Bank supports our mission and the local hot rod community. Their commitment to making a difference in the Valley is something we truly value and admire.

Thank you, Fresno First Bank, for being part of the Hot Rod Coalition family and for all you do to keep the Central Valley thriving! 💙🚗💨

🚗 Sponsorship Spotlight: O’Reilly Auto Parts

If it weren’t for O’Reilly Auto Parts believing in the mission of Hot Rod Coalition, we wouldn’t be where we are today. As our Title Sponsor, they have been instrumental in helping us grow and thrive, and we are beyond grateful for their partnership.

Our relationship with goes far beyond sponsorship—it’s a collaboration that benefits both organizations and our shared community. From hosting the starting points of our Reliability Runs and Shop Tours at their retail stores to encouraging enthusiasts to pick up event registration forms at their locations, they’ve become a cornerstone of what we do.

Recently, we introduced a new concept where O’Reilly Auto Parts serves as the hub for all our big event raffles. This not only connects them with thousands of gearheads but also helps them build new relationships, contacts, and wholesale accounts.

We work tirelessly to support O’Reilly Auto Parts because they’ve invested in the mission of Hot Rod Coalition and the classic car community in the Central Valley. Their belief in what we’re building here fuels our drive, and we’re honored to have them as a vital part of our journey.

Thank you, O’Reilly Auto Parts, for your unwavering support! 💚⚡
