The SEMA Cares Committee aims to bring the voice and resources of the SEMA community together to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

Visit the SEMA Cares Booth at the SEMA Show (in the Las Vegas Convention Center on the Skywalk at the entrance to the South Hall) to learn about the important charities SEMA has teamed up with to help improve the lives of vulnerable children. On hand will be volunteers from Childhelp, an organization which provides service for neglected and abused children, as well as Victory Junction Gang Camp, which provides life-changing camping experiences for disabled and chronically ill children.

The SEMA Cares booth will also feature the second annual bone marrow donor drive. This year’s drive is in Memory of Bill Perry, a former member of the SEMA Board of Directors and Hall of Fame.

Participating in the “Be the Match” program, which takes only a few minutes, could mean the difference between life or death for someone needing a bone-marrow donation. All that’s needed to sign up is the completion of a brief questionnaire and a quick cheek swab.

Rounding out the programs featured in the 2009 SEMA Cares booth is the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund. The fund, designed to foster industry leadership by supporting the education of students pursuing careers in the automotive aftermarket, has helped more 400 students, cumulating in more than $1,000,000 in grants since its establishment in 1984.

The SEMA Cares Committee, established by the SEMA Board of Directors in 2007, aims to bring the voice and resources of the SEMA community together to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Joel Ayres, national marketing director for the Truck Accessories Group, heads up this committee.

Commented Ayres, “This is a chance for Show attendees to learn about the charities SEMA Cares supports and to see the good work our industry does to improve the lives of those in need. The SEMA Cares booth staff will be able to answer questions anyone has on Childhelp, Victory Junction, the SEMA Scholarship Program or the bone marrow donor program. SEMA members have a big heart, and this is our opportunity to show it to the entire automotive aftermarket industry.”

Sony PlayStation and Polyphony Digital, creator of the Gran Turismo driving simulator, will host the seventh-annual Gran Turismo Awards at the 2009 SEMA Show.

Categories for the 2009 Awards include Best Hot Rod; Best Japanese Import; Best European Import; Best Domestic Automobile; and Best Truck/SUV.

Only one winner from these categories will be crowned Best in Show, however, by none other than Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi. The winner will join a select group of tuners who have had their vehicles included in a Gran Turismo title.

This year’s winning vehicle will be rendered in 1080p HD as a fully playable selection in an upcoming edition of the game, which has sold 52 million copies worldwide.

Winners will be announced in a ceremony on Wednesday night, November 4, at Rain Nightclub in the Palms Casino Resort.

Think your car, truck, rod or SUV is worthy? Complete the required information on the following entry form and e-mail to: GTAwards@porternovelli.com
