    Charity Car Event for Operation First Response Walk for the Wounded


    I’m proud to announce that Operation First Response has asked us to participate in this year’s Walk for the Wounded event to be held on May 14,2016 at Rose Tree Park in Media, PA. This event raises more than $160K every year. I’ve been told Operation First Response donates at least 90 cents out of every dollar raised to wounded soldiers and their families as they face hardships upon returning home

    It would be great if you would consider bringing your special car to the event. In addition, we would love it if five or six of you would also consider participating in the Car/Motorcycle Escort that brings our honored heroes from Rt1 and Rt202 Hotel to Rose Tree Park where the event takes place.

    Please let me know if you would like to attend ASAP.

    Additionally, if you would like to help Sponsor the event, please let me know as well. Of course, any contributions would be greatly appreciated.


    Here is a video from a previous event.

    Hey guys,

    The date is fast approaching, so if you are interested in helping this great cause, please sign up asap!

    For those interested in participating in the escort, the organizer's asked that I advise that all "Escort" Cars & Motorcycles are to arrive between a 8:30 and 9am at the Staybridge Suites Hotel located on Evergreen Drive just off Rt 202 , Concordville, Pa

    Evergreen Drive is next to Brinton Lake Shopping Center & across from Maris Grove Retirement Community.

    The event itself will be held from 10-3 at the Rose Tree Park in Media.

    Thanks Joe, will be there. For us C&C people, this is probably 5+ minutes (via Diltworthtown Rd then Brinton Lake Rd) from C&C.

    Is there a rain date for this? Saturday's forecast isn't looking too good, I'm afraid.

    Thanks Alex! I see Doug DeMuro from YouTube was at C&C. I wonder if he made another episode of Cars and Coffee....

    Welcome! He has been there pretty frequently, seems like once a month or once every two weeks the last few months.
