Over 300 cars registered and over $15,000 was raised for Ballard Center!
It was truly a magical day! The 10th annual Rev It Up was a huge success from beginning to end. We filled our bellies with fabulous BBQ cooked by volunteer Korey Hastings, enjoyed craft beer and sangria, danced to powerhouse Rockabilly music, and were entertained by DJ Lurlene the Trailer Park Queen who educated thousands of spectators on the importance of Ballard’s mission and services and inspired them to become involved. Oh, and there were unbelievable hot rods everywhere with the best weather anyone could ask for!
We want to especially thank Steve and Michelle Chronister, who made this entire event possible! Ballard is deeply indebted the Chronisters who, for months, thanklessly and tirelessly poured their hearts into making Rev It Up Hullabaloo the best car show this side of the Mississippi! Not only have they donated their time and resources creating this phenomenal event, but they also graciously donated all proceeds to Ballard in service of its mission of helping children and families of Douglas County. There are few purer or more giving hearts that theirs and, again, we thank you for making this day possible!
