The donation comes in part from the “Pumpkin Run Nationals,” an annual gathering of almost 3,000 vintage autos and trucks from across the country. The show, held every October at the Clermont County Fairgrounds, draws thousands of visitors from across the country. “This is one of the largest shows of its kind,” states Dan Gavey, president of the Fastiques Club. “We’re extremely proud of our show and our ability to contribute to Shriners Hospitals for Children.”

Since 1996, the Fastiques have donated to Shriners Hospitals for Children, plus other causes in the area, such as the Earth Angel Foundation and The Clermont County Fairboard. The club was founded in 1973 by owners of older cars, ranging from street rods, customs and restored classics.

In 2000, members of the Fastiques were honored by receiving the Eagle One’s prestigious “Golden Rule Award.” This nationally recognized award is given in recognition to street rod and classic car clubs who make exceptional contributions to their communities. Fastiques is a chapter affiliate of the National Street Rod Association.
