Pico Youth & Family Center (PYFC) hosted the second Annual Santa Monica Classic Car Show on the Santa Monica Pier on
Saturday, September 10. As Tropical Storm Kay moved North from the coast of Baja, California, dense clouds provided relief from the harsh heat wave roasting Southern California.
Hundreds of community members attended this event, taking photographs of, and with the many lowriders, hot rods, and classic muscle cars lined along the Pier.
Santa Monica Ballet Folklorico performed for the audience, with musical appearances by House of Vibe, DJ Demo, and Ed-Vinyl carrying the event's ambiance.
'Lowride for a Cause,’ the goal of putting together this car show, is preserving and celebrating the lowriding culture. "All of the proceeds will benefit youth services and after-school programming for underserved youth in Santa Monica and Los Angeles County," the PYFC website states.
The PYFC is a non-profit organization with a mission of serving the youth and families of the Pico neighborhood in Santa Monica through services of support, education, creating opportunities, and prevention of violence.
