Annual LI Cruizin’ For A Cure Car Show Returns to LI with new Westbury Location September 10

July 31, 2017; Westbury, NY – Long Island Cruizin’ For A Cure will hold its 12th annual car show at 1400 Old Country Road in Westbury, New York, a new location for the nonprofit organization. The show will be Sunday, September 10 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is the only car show on the East Coast to offer men free onsite PSA screening tests for early detection of Prostate Cancer. A special program at noon will highlight the success of the nonprofit car show and the presentation of a check to Winthrop-University Hospital for prostate cancer research.

Long Island Cruizin’ For A Cure promises to be a family-centered fun day. Back by popular demand will be STARDUST and the Food Court. Free features include a KIDZ FUN ZONE with radio controlled model race car track.

Cruizin’ For A Cure, organized by Prostate Cancer survivors and community volunteers in 2006, is dedicated to raising funds for Prostate Cancer research, education and early detection. Since its founding Cruizin’ has donated more than $120,000 to Winthrop-University Hospital and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory for research.

A huge crowd will be attracted once again to the Lee Iaccoca Foundation Award winning car show, where more than 450 cars and vehicles are expected to be exhibited. Sponsors include Champion Motors, AutoQuip, Alure Home Improvement, Rallye Motor Group, Robert Chevrolet and Trinity Solar, with more sponsors to come.

There will be a dedicated tent where the PSA Prostate Cancer screening tests will be conducted FREE by Winthrop-University Hospital. Volunteers wearing grey “Survivor” L.I. Cruizin’ t-shirts will be encouraging men at the show to take advantage of the onsite free blood-screening tests. To date over 3,000 men have been screened at Cruizin’ For A Cure car shows and 148 of them with elevated PSA readings have been referred to their physicians for follow-up.

“Last year 345 free PSA screening tests were conducted. Once again we plan to make a concerted effort to encourage men to take advantage of the free screening test. It will be a fabulous day with exhibitors, a KIDS FUN ZONE, entertainment, vendors and sponsors. This will be our first year at the 1400 Old Country location, a slightly smaller location but vehicles will be parked on cement rather than dirt – a plus for the show participants,"said Sandy Kane, Chair and Founder of LI Cruizin’ For A Cure Car Show.

He continued, "Our volunteers, many of whom are Prostate Cancer survivors like me, are finalizing plans for a show that will delight people of all ages. The show’s popularity has been sustained because it offers something for everyone, not just car enthusiasts.”

The September 10 car show promises to be a fun-filled family-friendly day. For car collectors and vehicle enthusiasts it’s all about rods, customs, muscle and classic cars, specialty vehicles, antique fire apparatus and motorcycles.

Look for the 50/50 raffle; an expanded food court and much more. Admission is $5; kids under 12 are free.
