Spend a Day Crafting Pinewood Cars With Children in Need

By Jenny Galvan

Pinewood
The Pinewood Build Day is a great volunteer opportunity for anyone interested in donating a few hours of their time to make a difference in the lives of children in need.

All SEMA members are invited to volunteer at the annual SEMA Cares Pinewood Build Day, Saturday, May 5, from 9:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m. The event takes place at the Childhelp Merv Griffin Village—a group home dedicated to rehabilitating children who have suffered abuse and neglect.

During the Pinewood Build Day, volunteers will help children decorate and race pinewood race cars. Each child will receive two pinewoods—one to keep and the other to donate. Donated cars will be available for purchase at the SEMA Installation & Gala, and all proceeds will benefit SEMA Cares charities.

The Pinewood Build Day is a great volunteer opportunity for anyone interested in donating a few hours of their time to make a difference in the lives of children in need. SEMA members are also encouraged to bring their families to this special day, as it is a great opportunity to get the whole family involved in giving back and helping others.

The Childhelp Merv Griffin Village is located at 14700 Manzanita Park Rd., Beaumont, CA 92223. Please RSVP to Lindsay Bianco at lindsayb@sema.org or 909-978-6692 by Wednesday, May 2.
