About
‘Paws to the pedal’ is a play on the term ‘pedal to the metal’ – so when we say ‘paws to the pedal’ we are combining our love for animals and the automotive hobby to make a difference in the lives of animals who are otherwise abused, neglected or forgotten.
The Paws To The Pedal Charity Car Show is a fundraising body that was created in 2014 with the mission to strengthen the car community through cause and purpose. We wanted to give back to the community and felt that these animals deserved a second chance rather than be discarded.
Each year, we pick a different animal rescue center to raise funds for, and donate 100% of the proceeds from our annual car show to that group.
