Petaluma's Salute to American Graffiti
Other Event Type for Cruisin' the BoulevardMay 21, 2022 from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM
After being cancelled for the last two years, we are finally back on track to hold our 15th annual car show.. Cruisin’ the Boulevard, Inc., is an all-volunteer 501c3 non-profit located in Petaluma, CA. Each May we host Petaluma’s Salute to American Graffiti, a classic car show and cruise that is held on the same streets that George Lucas used to film what many believe is his best movie, American Graffiti. May 21, 2022 will be our 15th anniversary celebration.
Being we are an all-volunteer non-profit; we reinvest the net proceeds from each event back into our community. Since 2007, our main goal is to place AEDs (automated external defibrillator) around our city. That means we have placed over 100 of these life saving devices into our community, making Petaluma a safer place to live, work, or visit. In 2019, one of the AEDs we placed saved a gentleman’s life.
In 2019 we learned that one of our local high schools was thinking of eliminating the auto shop class. Cruisin’ the Boulevard stepped in to make sure the program continued and today the program is going strong.
The money we raised in 2019 (the last show before being cancelled due to Covid) allowed us to purchase more AEDs in our community, and fund the 8 scholarships that we presented to our local high school seniors.
Our scholarship program has helped over 50 high school seniors with their college expenses. Since 2006, we have reinvested over $190,000 back into our community.
All our donors will be recognized in our program, and on our website. Thank you for considering us for a donation. Our tax #20-3804722
