A Ride for Hope Poker Run and Cruise In – I started the CarShowz brand over 15 years ago with the goal of helping small businesses and events in our local community. The old school method of designing and printing car show flyers and passing them out at cars and coffee, car shows, and cruise ins was a successful method to spread the word, but quickly becoming dated. Forums were getting over ran by keyboard warriors and admins on power trips who were quick to drop the ban hammer. The OGs of the car scene know exactly what I am talking about. CarShowz was born and I can tell you the exact reason and purpose for this event is exactly why we are here!
Ironically, the very thing that is essentially making our website irrelevant (LOL), is the method that put us in-touch with Twain’s Tavern Owner, Bill Shoe. Through a mutual friend on FB, we were tagged in a post and within a couple of days Bill and I were chatting on the phone about an event in honor of Brenna Corcoran. Let me tell you about Brenna…
Brenna was a 4-year-old with beautiful, long eye lashes and big blue eyes that fought DIPG with nothing but strength and bravery for 7.5 months. Brenna was the youngest of 6 children. She loved Disney, princesses, unicorns and motorcycles. She was the prettiest princess of all that loved hanging out with her sisters, brother, mommy and daddy. You could find her on the field playing t-ball and also dressed ready for dance class. She loved going to the beach but needed a pool on the beachside as she did not like the ocean. Her smile will always be contagious and will never be forgotten.
My name is Bonnie Corcoran, I am a teacher, wife, grandmother and mother of 6 beautiful children. On January 25th, 2022, our world was turned upside down when our four-year-old daughter, Brenna was diagnosed with DIPG, an inoperable, incurable brain tumor. That day we promised her that we would never stop fighting for a cure for her, that her fight was our fight. Despite our efforts our sweet Warrior Princess laid down her sword and gained her angel wings on September 6th, 2022. My husband and I intend to keep our promise to Brenna and never give up fighting for a cure, this is why we have decided to start the Maryland- Brenna Strong Chapter of The Cure Starts Now.

About CarShowz.com
Founded in 2009, CarShowz.com initially launched with a .us domain before transitioning to a .com. The cumbersome process of sifting through forum posts and piles of event flyers distributed at shows was growing tedious. CarShowz.com was designed to serve as a comprehensive resource for car enthusiasts to effortlessly locate events and promote their local gatherings at no cost. As time passed, the website expanded its offerings to include automotive photography, becoming a cornerstone feature of the site.
