This annual fundraiser attracts a diverse crowd of people who are interested in everything from big rigs and drag racing to supporting children's charities or just having a good time.
The goal of the Truckin' for Kids’ all-volunteer crew and the truckers who participate in the Truck Drags is to raise money to provide various children's charities with funds to help kids in need.
The organization supports charities that range from assistance to abused children to educational scholarships for kids with exceptional scholastic merit and financial need.
To date, Truckin’ for Kids volunteers, sponsors, vendors, participating truckers and spectators have raised more than $500,000 for kids in need.
All proceeds from this show go to the Society for Disabled Children’s Camp Blue Jay in Kern County.
