🏎️🔥 WHAT AN EVENT! OVER $200,000 RAISED FOR AN INCREDIBLE CAUSE! 🙏❤️
What an amazing day at the car show! The cars were incredible, the turnout was unbelievable, but you know what was even better? Seeing the smiles on those kids’ faces when we gave away bicycles! 🚲❤️
We also handed out FREE Hot Wheels all day long, and seeing the excitement from those little ones was worth every second! Sometimes the smallest gestures create the biggest memories. That’s what life is all about — GIVING BACK, SERVING OTHERS, AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
I want to give a HUGE shoutout to the Southern Elite Contracting team for showing up, putting in the work, and making this day special! Of course, I can’t mention everyone without having a little fun! 😂👇
🐶 Snoopy (AKA Alex) — Great seeing you, brother!
🐻 Pooh Bear (AKA Curtis) — Didn’t get much time with you, but I saw you show up! Always good seeing you!
🎱 Cue Ball (AKA Ryan) — Always grateful for you, brother, and the laughs never stop! 😂
🚁 Choppa (AKA Corey) — Glad you made it out! And it was wonderful seeing Ms. Sarah!
💪 Ole Hardy (AKA Colby) — Came to town to see all the action! Always a pleasure seeing you and your wonderful family!
🌱 Mr. Turf (AKA Joey) — Brought the walkway and helped make everything look great!
✈️ Fluff Daddy (AKA Ernie) — Wasn’t missing a beat! Only had to make about 79 pit stops along the way! 😂💨 But don’t worry, he still managed to lay down some streak marks! 🏎️🔥
🏁 Northern Elite was in the house! Mike and his entire family made the trip, and it was such a pleasure seeing all of you!
❤️ Ms. Natasha and her family — Thank you so much for coming out and being part of this special day!
Ole Timmy showed up with his wife! Aka Tim. Always great hanging with you sir!
If I missed anyone’s name, I sincerely apologize! I tried to capture everyone from our team that I saw throughout the day. Just know that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU IS APPRECIATED!
To all our family, friends, customers, and supporters who came out, thank you! Whether you stopped by to say hello, supported the cause, brought your family, or simply spent a few minutes with our Southern Elite team, it means more than you know!
❤️🙏 NOW FOR THE BIGGEST PART OF THE ENTIRE DAY!
OVER $200,000 RAISED! 💰❤️
That money is going toward helping 3 families and 3 charities!
THREE families whose lives will be impacted. Three charities that can continue doing incredible things. Countless prayers answered and blessings shared!
Folks, that’s what it’s all about. Not the cars, not the money, not the recognition — IT’S ABOUT PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE!
🙏❤️ A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO SOME INCREDIBLE PEOPLE!
First, I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU TO BRUCE AND SUSAN VERGE! 🏡❤️
Thank you both for opening up your beautiful property and allowing this incredible event to take place! The time, effort, generosity, and support you put behind making this day possible do not go unnoticed. From the beautiful grounds to the incredible atmosphere, everything was first-class! You both have such giving hearts, and we are truly grateful for everything you do to support this cause and our community!
❤️🙏 BUT THE BIGGEST THANK-YOU OF ALL GOES TO KALE AND MARISSA WADDLETON WITH KALEB’S CAUSE!
I cannot say enough about these two and the incredible team standing behind them!
WITHOUT KALE, MARISSA, AND THEIR TEAM, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE!
The dedication, countless hours, hard work, planning, and heart they pour into this event are truly something special. They made this happen in every way, shape, and form!
It’s one thing to talk about helping others, but it’s another thing entirely to put your heart, time, energy, and resources into actually changing people’s lives.
KALE AND MARISSA ARE DOING EXACTLY THAT! ❤️
What an incredible blessing it is to see people with such a passion for serving others. You are making a difference in the lives of families who need it most, and I know God sees every bit of the work you are doing.
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU BOTH AND YOUR ENTIRE KALEB’S CAUSE TEAM!
And thank you for allowing Southern Elite Contracting to play even a small part in something so much bigger than ourselves. We are honored to stand beside you, support your mission, and help in any way we can!
The credit belongs to the people who made this happen, and I hope everyone takes a moment to recognize just how much work goes into an event of this magnitude!
GIVE KALE, MARISSA, BRUCE, SUSAN, AND THE ENTIRE TEAM A HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE! 👏❤️
God has blessed us all in so many ways, and I truly believe it’s our responsibility to turn around and be a blessing to others.
I absolutely LOVE this event every single year. The car community is truly one of a kind, and seeing everyone come together for something bigger than themselves is incredible.
My prayer is that THIS EVENT CONTINUES TO GROW BIGGER AND BIGGER EVERY YEAR! More cars, more families, more smiles, more giving, and more lives changed!
To everyone who organized this event, worked behind the scenes, donated, volunteered, or simply showed up — THANK YOU! You are making a difference!
And to my Southern Elite family, I’m proud of the company we’re building, but I’m even more proud of the HEARTS behind it. ❤️
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME! 🙏
🚲🏎️ Let’s make next year even BIGGER!
👇 If you attended the show, drop your favorite picture in the comments! I want to see those cars, those smiling kids, and all the memories made!
And please help me show some love to Kaleb’s Cause, Kale and Marissa Waddleton, and Bruce and Susan Verge! They deserve every bit of recognition for what they’ve done for these families! ❤️🙏
