About CARS

Driving Passion, Fueling Purpose — uniting speed, design, and community for charitable impact.

Mission

Passion meets philanthropy

At CARS, we rev up the thrill of sports cars while steering towards a greater purpose. Our vibrant social network unites enthusiasts who share a love for speed, design, and community.

Through exhilarating car events, we not only celebrate horsepower but also channel our energy into charitable endeavors. Every turn of the wheel contributes to making a difference. Join us on this exhilarating journey —and enjoy the ride.

Our public tagline says it plainly: Exotic Cars for a Cause.

Model

How giving stays in the fast lane

Gather

Members and guests meet for lunches, dinners, shows, and service days centered on camaraderie and cars.

Partner

Host venues often designate 10–20% of sales to a charity named for that evening.

Sponsor

CARS is 100% funded by sponsors so designated gifts can travel to beneficiaries.

Deliver

We publish outcomes —from Food Bank dinners to K9s for Warriors holiday gifts — so supporters see the finish line.

Transparency

Built for trust

As a U.S. public charity we file Form 990-N when annual gross receipts are normally $50,000 or less, maintain our Plano address on IRS records, and welcome questions at admin@charityandracingsociety.org.
