For Immediate Release:
Erin, ON June 27, 2011
ARC Industries East Wellington Capital Campaign
Kickoff
An estimated crowd of one thousand people attended the Boothill Automotive Resurrection first Annual Show and Shine in support of the ARC (Adult Rehabilitation Centre) Industries East Wellington Capital Campaign kick off on Saturday June 25, 2011.
Those in attendance were able to see dozens of classic cars on display including the “Batmobile”, restored roadsters from the 30’s, the 40’s and the 50’s as well a huge selection of muscle cars from the 60’s and 70’s – many of which had been customized or restored at Boothill. Three area bands played for an enthusiastic audience and the Erin Optimist Club teamed up with the Erin Rotary Club to host a charity BarBQ. NHL hall of famer, Paul Coffey, and CFL Legend Mike “Pinball” Clemmons were on hand to meet and greet many people who were there.
Close to $5,000 was raised on the day. Along with the announced $250,000 already received in commitments to the project, the team is well on it’s way to raising the needed $1.1 million. Project partners to date include Don Robinson of Eastmain Resources, Boothill Automotive, the Rotary Club of Erin, the Optimist Club of Erin and Hilton Motor Sports.
