The popular fundraising party has grown by leaps and bounds in its 10-year history, and now tops 1,200 attendees enjoying 120-plus stellar cars; a generous spread of BBQ from Jim ‘n Nicks; continuous pours from local craft breweries Lagunitas, Gate City, Pontoon, and Eventide; silent auction items; live music and more. Last year alone, Cars & ‘Q raised a record-breaking $435,433 for CF.
