This year, the DFW Auto Show is proud
to once again be joining forces with the
North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) for yet
another “Fuel Up North Texas” event. Not
only will DFW Auto Show attendees receive $1 off a $12 admission for one donated canned good, but the Dallas Fort
Worth Metropolitan New Car Dealers Association (DFW NCDA) dealer members
are being challenged to collect food from
their employees, families and customers.
According to the NTFB, items that are especially needed include: peanut butter,
canned tuna or chicken, canned or dried
beans, low sodium soups, stew, chili and
canned vegetables.
“Three years ago, the Show donated
4,824 pounds of food to the North Texas
Food Bank. This year, the $1 off a regular
admission price of $12 will be offered to
attendees all five days of the Show, so
we have every reason to believe that we
will surpass 2012’s contribution,” said Lee
Chapman, president of the DFW NCDA.
“Hunger is a reality for one out of five
people in Dallas County, so we are grateful that the DFW Auto Show has committed to help us Drive Out Hunger. We look
forward to seeing the NTFB truck filled
with nutritious food for hungry children,
families, and seniors thanks to the show’s
attendees,” said Jan Pruitt, president and
CEO of the North Texas Food Bank.
Additional exhibits and displays to
round out a full entertainment experience at the Show include: approximately
100 classic vehicles from Corvette Classics, Dallas Classic Chevys, Lone Star Corvette Club, North Texas Mustang Club,
Pack Automotive Museum and Z Club:
