Spring Fever Charity Classic Car Show breaks all records!The third annual Doc's Spring Fever Charity Classic Car Show took place on May 20 and netted record-breaking funds for the four charities it benefits. The show is organized by Kraig "Doc" Bryan, owner of Doc's Upholstery in Belvidere. "We set a goal for this year to raise over $10,000 and hoped to come at least close to it," said Doc. In the middle of the show, a quick tally indicated that they had exceeded that goal by taking in $12,820. After expenses, the Helping Hands Network and His Glory Christian Outreach Center each received $5,000 and $1,000 to the Illinois Special Olympics in memory of Gary Reints. Checks from the proceeds were presented to Rev. Don Norek of His Glory Mission, Pat Smith of the Helping Hands Network, Barry Tillema for Special Olympics last Wednesday. During the show, the Grace Family Church Food Pantry sold Schwan's Ice Cream and collected non-perishable food items and monetary donations. They collected more than $900 that they will use to stock the food pantry for the needy in Boone County. This year 60 sponsors supported the show and 169 registered and approximately 20 non-registered cars entered. Looking back The first year of the charity show, 35 sponsors and 125 registered cars entered. It started without a set registration fee and organizers asked participants to donate non-perishable food items or money. After expenses, they were able to give Helping Hands Network and His Glory Christian Outreach Center each a check for $1,400. The second year, 49 sponsors participated and 144 registered and approximately 30 non-registered cars were entered in the show, which grossed $7,500. After expenses, they were able to give Helping Hands Network and His Glory Christian Outreach Center each a check for $3,000 and the Illinois Special Olympics $1,000 in memory of Gary Reints. "We dedicated the show in memory of Gary Reints," said Doc. "He was an avid car enthusiast and was a coach for the Illinois Special Olympics. Our first show was Gary's first chance of the season to show his Corvette - Gary passed away the next day." Bryan extends special thanks to this year's sponsors and exhibitors. "It may say Doc's Spring Fever Charity Classic Car Show but it's not my show," he said. "It's our car show, whether you sponsored a trophy, registered a car, made a donation or volunteered your time. "It is because of you that Doc's Annual Spring Fever Charity Classic Car Show is such a success, and we are able to support these worthy charities. "By doing so you are supporting these charities that do so much for our community. We can only imagine the impact that they have on the lives of those less fortunate than you and me."

Dear Sponsor’s, Registrants and Volunteer’s,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your participation in the 3rd Annual Doc’s Spring Fever Charity Classic Car Show.
The first year we had 35 sponsors and 125 registered cars. We did not have a set registration fee; we asked those that participated to donate non-perishable food items or money. After expenses we were able to give Helping Hands Network and His Glory Christian Outreach Center each a check for $1,400.00.
The second year we had 49 sponsors and 144 registered and approximately 30 non-registered cars. We grossed $7,500.00, after expenses we were able to give Helping Hands Network and His Glory Christian Outreach Center each a check for $3,000.00 and the Illinois Special Olympics $1,000.00 in Memory of Gary Rients. We dedicated the show in Memory of Gary Rients. He was avid car enthusiast and was a coach for the Illinois Special Olympics. Our first show was Gary’s first chance of the season to show his Corvette, Gary passed away the next day.
This year we had 60 sponsors and 169 registered and approximately 20 non-registered cars. This year we formed a web site Docscarshow.com that has all of the car show information on it. It has information regarding the Charities that we support. Picture’s and information from the first two car show’s, listing’s of all of our Sponsor’s. Sponsors or car registrants could download forms needed to participate in the car show. This year Grace Family Church Food Pantry sold Schwan’s Ice Cream, accepted non-perishable food items and donations. They collected over $900.00 that they will use to stock the food pantry for the needy in Boone County. We set a goal for this year to raise over $10,000.00 hoping to come at least close to it. In the middle of the show Tammy had done a quick tally and informed me that we had exceeded that goal. When all was said and done we had grossed $12,820.00. After expenses we are able to give Helping Hands Network and His Glory Christian Outreach Center each $5,000.00 and $1,000.00 to the Illinois Special Olympics in Memory of Gary Rients. We have not set a goal for next year; this years will be hard to beat!
As I mentioned at the car show, it may say Doc’s Spring Fever Charity Classic Car Show but it’s not my show. It’s our car show, whether you sponsored a trophy, registered a car, made a donation or volunteered your time. It is because of you that Doc’s Annual Spring Fever Charity Classic Car Show is such a success and we are able to support these worthy charities. I hope you will continue to support Doc’s Annual Spring Fever Charity Classic Car Show. By doing so you are supporting these charities that do so much for our community. We can only imagine the impact that they have on the lives of those less fortunate than you and I.
