The October installment of Caffeine & Carburetors, the popular car show, raised more than $27,000 for a nonprofit organization that works to ensure that Waveny Park continues to thrive.
The Waveny Park Conservancy is “thrilled” to receive the support from Caffeine & Carburetors, according to the organization’s chair, Fell Herdeg.
“It’s a meaningful gift to the Conservancy,” he said Thursday evening from the forecourt of Waveny House, accepting the gift alongside Conservancy Executive Director Michelle Crookenden from C&C from founder Doug Zumbach and Director of Business Development Claire Drexler.
Herdeg added: “We love that they’re able to hold it here and I think it draws more people into town—the beauty of our town, the beauty of the park, get to experience the park, all which we think are just wonderful benefits. We’re very appreciative of their support.”
