Fueled by motorsports enthusiasm and a charitable engine, Houston’s car club and racing communities came together to raise funds and awareness to address child abuse in Harris and surrounding counties.

The inaugural “Drive For Kids” event, title sponsored by Mercedes-Benz of Sugar Land in partnership with MSR Houston Charities 501(c)(3) hosted and offered registration for up to 400 cars to participate in charitable fundraising parade laps, a VIP car exhibition and the opportunity to gather with sponsor vendors, Houston area celebrities and fellow motorsports enthusiasts in support of two local children’s charities: Child Advocates and Arms Wide Adoption Services. Each of these charities shared the proceeds from this event to support their ongoing missions.
