Snellville Parks and Recreation, partnering with Georgia Cool Cruisers, hosted its seventh annual Car Show at Briscoe Park in November. For the fourth year in a row the car show event has raised money for the Snellville Police Department’s Shop with a Cop program.
With the donations from the November 2024 car show totaling $2,318, the Snellville Police Department, with help from the Snellville Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association, was able to include 10 more families in the program this year. Shop with a Cop offers families in need a chance to pick out Christmas gifts with the help of police.
“The Cool Cars at Briscoe event is one of our great events as, on the day of the event, visitors of all ages can come and enjoy the cars, food and fun,” said Director of Parks and Recreation Lisa A Platt, CPRP. “But one of the best parts of this event is that all donations go toward the Snellville police Shop with a Cop program. These generous donations will allow more families and kids to go on a shopping spree which will allow them to have a holiday with gifts they would otherwise not have. The Snellville Parks and Recreation Department strives to support our community and most specifically our youth in as many ways as possible - not just out on the athletic fields and courts. This event allows us just another opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of our community’s youth."
The annual November event has once again exceeded expectations, park officials said.
“We are thrilled that we are able to work with Snellville PD each year during this event and this will continue to be our November car show charity,” said Meghan Meegan, Parks and Recreation program coordinator.
The November event has been so popular with the car club community and spectators that we will continue to add on a second car show at Briscoe Park every April allowing both a spring and fall car show event. The 2025 car show events will take place on April 26 and Nov. 8 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at the park, 2500 Sawyer Parkway.
