A remarkable event took place recently in Cross Plains, where Woody’s Car and Baseball Museum organized its inaugural car show for a charitable purpose. The occasion was not just about showcasing classic automobiles but also about fostering a deeper connection between the community and Camp Able, an esteemed non-profit organization. This collaboration has breathed new life into the traditional car show format, turning it into a meaningful platform for giving back.

Camp Able specializes in offering therapeutic horseback riding and skill-based training to individuals with special needs. By aligning their mission with the enthusiasm of car enthusiasts, the partnership between Woody’s and Camp Able has transcended mere fundraising. As Cody Cox, executive director of Camp Able, expressed, the relationship has evolved into something akin to family. The event's success underscores how grassroots initiatives can grow into significant movements, drawing together people from all walks of life who share a common vision of support and compassion.

The financial contributions generated by the car show will significantly benefit Camp Able, as proceeds from both the gift shop sales and the entrance fees are directed towards their programs. This initiative fulfills a long-standing dream of the museum founders, who envisioned hosting a car show that would resonate with the community. With plans to make this an annual tradition, Woody’s commitment to supporting Camp Able exemplifies the power of community spirit and shared goals. Over the past four years, Camp Able has raised over 1.4 million dollars, demonstrating the tangible impact of such partnerships. Through events like these, the potential for positive change continues to expand, inspiring others to join in and contribute to a brighter future for all.
