For the 18th year, the Rides to Remember Track Day took over the Atlanta Motorsports Park in Dawsonville for a worthy cause.
The mid-September event brought together more than 200 young cancer patients and their families for a day of unparalleled thrills that can only come from whizzing around a racetrack in a Ferrari, Maserati or other luxury vehicle. The day included breakfast, face painting, balloon artistry, a DJ, a photobooth, a silent auction, food trucks and treats from the King of Pops. Along with providing memorable experiences, the event raised $40,000 for each of the three local charities that make a difference to thousands of Atlantans: CURE Childhood Cancer, Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities and Camp Sunshine. Media sponsor Simply Buckhead was among the list of major supporters.
