Dozens of Hot Rods and Classic Cars pulled into the Pearl City Shopping Center on Saturday night to the participate in the Hot Classic Nights "Cruising Back in Time" Car Show presented by BLEIZN FX and the Craig Tom Ohana.The car show was a benefit fundraiser to support TACA – Talking About Curing Autism.
"This is a car show fundraiser for TACA to support children with Autism," said TACA volunteer, Craig Tom.
TACA volunteer. Jessica Tom commented on how the funds raised on Saturday will benefit TACA children; "Alot, because there's actually only seventeen states, not even twenty states that cover the insurance for Autism and Hawaii is not even one of them. Everything is out of the parent's pockets and from donations from the people of Hawaii. We just thought about TACA and holding the Hot Classic Nights was a perfect time for TACA to come out and introduce themselves and have the people donate what they can."
