CHAPEL HILL – For the third year in a row, Performance Auto Mall is holding its third annual charity car show of which 100 percent of the proceeds benefit the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Support Program.

The car show takes place Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon. Jill McCullough from Performance says that this year the car show will have more activities for the whole family.

“This year we decided to actually change it a little bit and make it more of a family fun day, so that if you aren’t necessarily interested in classic cars or muscle cars you can bring your family out and we’re going to have a petting zoo, massage envy from Eastgate will be there doing chair massages, great clips will be there doing haircuts, all taking donations for Lineberger” McCullough says.

Other attractions at the car show include pony rides, food, Maple View ice cream, and a pumpkin contest.

McCullough says the car show is just one of the ways Performance is supporting the Lineberger Center this year.

“We’re doing more than the car show this month for Lineberger, we’re donating $10 per car we sell this month plus we have a service campaign running as well so that we can make money for Lineberger on that end also, so we’re hoping to write them a nice, nice check this month”McCullough says.

The Lineberger Center continues its “Turn the Town Pink” campaign for the rest of the month. For more information Performance Chevrolet’s car show this Saturday click here, or to find out more event going on with “Turn the Town Pink”, click here.
