Description

The event is put on by the Glacier Street Rods at the Desoto Grille in Kalispell, MT. The Glacier Street Rods donate their proceeds to Mikayla's Miracles & Blessings. The Bigshindig is a car show of over 200 hotrods from through out the nation & Canada. We have a BBQ, a poloar plunge, a pinup girl contest and I have a live autction with the donations I gather. My foundation helps families with children with special needs. We provide equipment, clothing, computers, money and once a year a van is donated to a family that is in need. We provided Christmas for over 100 children in the valley this last year. Last year we were able to make a difference in over 2500 kids in need from Coats, gloves, hats, snow pants, personal hygiene, socks, etc.. At Thanksgiving & Christmas we provided 60 meals for local families in need. We also are providing snacks to the Evergreen Grade School each week to over 200 kids. All money raised is kept in the Flathead Valley. Also, no one takes a paycheck in the foundation as all the money that is raised goes right back into the foundation.

If I can plant a seed in one child then I know I have made a difference. All monies raised for the foundation goes right back into the foundation & stays in the Flathead Valley. There are no wages paid out to anyone in the foundation. I have walked in some of these kiddos shoes. I know what it is like to need & want. I continually tell people, “Everyone needs a Sabrina in their lives”. I am going to make a difference in one child at a time.
