The weather was just right for our 10th Annual Car and Bike Show fundraiser -- sunshine and a nice cool breeze.

The event attracted nearly 80 cars, trucks, and motorcycles of all makes and model years to Todd Stadium on Sunday, September 8, 2024. 

The show started at 10 a.m., but nearly three dozen vehicles came early to register and get a spot. 

The owners paid $20 per vehicle and brought bags and cans of food for the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter. 

Many people came out to look at the rides and talk with the owners, some reminiscing about their first cars and bikes.  

Everyone who showed up could vote for their favorite truck, car, and motorcycle; the top vote-getters received trophies and plaques at the show's end. 

The 50/50 raffle tickets sold out, so the winner got half of the $616.00 pot.  The other half went to the Sheriff's Office's Project Lifesaver program. 

When the counting was done from donations, entry fees, raffles, and prize drawings, the 2024 show raised $2400.00 to help keep Project Lifesaver free for the children and adults who need it.

The 2025 show is expected to take place in September, but a firm date won't be announced until sometime in the first quarter. 

In its 10-year history, the Car and Bike Show has raised more than $20,000.00.

The Newport News Sheriff’s Office will hold its annual Car and Bike Show at Todd Stadium on Sunday, September 10. 

 Vintage cars and motorcycles, and new models, too, will be on display from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.  There will be trophies awarded in many categories including Sheriff's Choice, Project Lifesaver Favorite, and Car Club with the most entrants.  There will also be prizes, a 50/50 raffle, DJ music, and more.   

Advance registration is now open for vehicle owners.  On-site registration begins at 10 a.m. on the day of the event.   The entry fee is $20 per vehicle plus two pet food items that will help the animals at the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter.    Click here to download the flyer/registration form.

The show is free for people who want to see the vehicles and talk with the owners.  Donations are always appreciated.

All money raised at the show supports the NNSO’s Project Lifesaver program.  Sheriff Gabe Morgan covers all costs for qualified Newport News residents who may wander from home due to disorders like Alzheimer’s, Autism, Down syndrome, or traumatic brain injury.  Clients wear a transmitter bracelet on their wrists or ankles.  Trained Sheriff’s Office personnel respond when a client is reported missing.  The NNSO’s program has a 100% success rate in safely returning people to their loved ones.
