Wisconsin Camaro is proud to introduce our first Camaro Charity Cruise in benefit of Harvest of Hope.
The Farm and Rural Crisis:
Many Wisconsin farm families are experiencing financial crises due to a number of factors: low commodity prices; high costs of fuel, seed, machinery, fertilizer, and other inputs; rising property taxes; shifting global markets; and drought, flooding, and other climatic conditions. Yet it is more than a farm crisis. It has also become a rural crisis, dislocating farm and non-farm families; creating shifts away from family farm agriculture; causing tensions within rural communities; and shattering people's values, beliefs, and hopes for the future.

Harvest of Hope Fund:
To assist farm families in getting through these tough times, members of the Madison Christian Community created an organization called the Harvest of Hope Fund. Their goal is to provide financial help and hope to Wisconsin farm families in difficult situations. The Harvest of Hope Fund provides gifts to farm families who need financial assistance to meet emergency needs for food, home heating fuel, medical or veterinary expenses, electric power cut-offs, climatic conditions (drought, floods, frost, hail), feed for cattle, machinery repair, retraining, or other immediate situations. Funding is also available to purchase seed, fertilizer, fuel, and other supplies for spring planting.

General Rules:
- Always keep a visual of the Camaro in front of you AND behind you. If the Camaro behind you starts to create a larger gap and is driving slower - you need to slow down before they lose sight of you.
- Maintain a safe distance between cars.
- If you have a walkie talkie, maintain regular status updates.
- If the leader of the group must pull off to the side of the road to allow others to catch up, turn on hazard lights, and pull off the road in a safe manner. Once the group is caught up, the last car must pull out into the road first and flash their lights to let the others know it is all clear.
- Drive in a safe and legal manor. Wisconsin Camaro is not responsible for any reckless and/or illegal driving - it is the responsibility of the individual driver.
- Respect the neighborhoods/towns we drive through.
- Lastly... HAVE FUN!!
