April 18, 2008 - TORRANCE, CA - As awareness about autism increases, it is becoming clear that the condition is more common in the US than previously thought. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently estimated that the rate could be as high as 1 for every 150 children.
The 3rd Annual Rev'ved Up 4 Kidz Car Show is set for April 26-27, 2008. The proceeds of the event will be given to the Center for Learning Unlimited, a school that helps children suffering from autism and other learning disabilities adapt to society.
Aside from the car show competition scheduled for Sunday, the weekend fundraiser will feature a VIP dinner, auctions, and appearances from celebrity guests. The personal collection of "Vic" Edelbrock Sr., founder of aftermarket parts manufacturer Edelbrock Corp., will also be on display.
"I am very passionate about the infinite possibilities of networking with our business partners to raise awareness and funding for such a wonderful cause", says Christi Edelbrock, Edelbrock VP of marketing and event organizer. "This is an opportunity for us to bring together our automotive community and camaraderie in support of giving back to kids who can really benefit from our charity".
