"The Car Show that Saves Mens Lives"
In Memory of Earl Taylor
Check out the footage of our 2016 Cruisin' for a Cure Omaha Car Show!
Here is an excerpt written by Harold Pharoah (Omaha Charter Founder)
RECAP OF 2016 CAR SHOW: Yesterday was our 6th Cruisin' for a Cure. After 6 years I think we have finally learned how to put on a car show. It was amazing. Especially to have it on the 15th anniversary of 9/11. Our friend Dave Weber sang the both verses of the National Anthem while he played his guitar, and he did a beatutful job. We are so proud to be a friend to this wonderful person. We love you Dave Weber. Then we had a moment of silence for our fallen on 9/11 & we always include in the silence prayers for all of fallen heroes who put their lives in danger to save ours. We can never thank you enough.
Just before Dave sang the National Anthem the Irvington Volunteer Fire DEpartment brought one of the I-Beams that was recovered form one of the Trade Center Bldg's at Ground Zero. So to have the I-Beam & Dave singing the National Anthem at the same time there was not a clear eye anywhere. I can not remember ever being in a more emotional time than those few minutes we were honoring our HEROES. We all thank you Nolan Paulsen Fire Chief, and your Fire Crew from Irvington, NE for sharing the I-Beam with us. Also I would like to them for getting a PSA Test yeaterday. We will see you again next year.
Just a brief note about the car show. This was the absolute best that we have had. There we over 200 cars that came and went yeatserday form 8 am to 3 pm. Then there were several that stopped by after the show. We also provided more than 120 FREE PSA Tests during the show. There was a continuous stream of men getting their FREE PSA Tests. We would like to thank Kathy and her team of Phlebotomists for volunteering their time on a Sunday to help perform the FREE PSA Tests for Crisin' for a Cure. Thank 's again from all of us at Cruisin' for a Cure.
This years People's Choice Award winner was Joe McCoy and his Mustang. What a beautiful Mustang. Thank you Joe for coming to show this year, and we will see you next year.
Yesterday we met Tim. Tim came to our show last year, and got a FREE PSA Test at the show. His PSA Score was high so he went to a Urologist for some more tests. Tim was told that he did have Prostate Cancer. So Tim decided to have have Prostate removed. It was because of Tim getting the FREE PSA Test at our Prostate Cancer Car Show he was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Thank you Tim for sharing this with us. There have been 4 men that have been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer after having a FREE PSA Test performed at our car show. 3 have gone thru their treatments and the 4th man will statr his treatments soon. This is the reason we all work hard to get as many men as possible a PSA Test.
Thank you to all of our volunteers, vendors, partners, car owners, and the people that stopped by to enjoy a Beautiful Sunday at a car show!
