The 11th Annual San Jose Car & Truck Show is expecting another strong turnout of vehicles \u2014 from classics to customs \u2014 on Saturday, May 2 at Dupont Station, located at 6271 St. Augustine Road, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Buick GMC Hyundai and North Florida Lincoln return as presenting sponsors of this fundraiser for the Bishop John J. Snyder Community Center at San Jose Apartments for seniors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The community\u2019s hub is located between HUD-assisted San Jose Apartments I and II on Galicia Road. It was named in honor of the late Bishop John J. Snyder. Many of the activities and services for the 110 senior residents are held at the center, which doesn\u2019t receive HUD assistance. The complex is managed by Family Housing Management Company for the Diocese of St. Augustine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is free, while day-of-show vehicle registration is $25. There will be a DJ, refreshments and plenty of door prizes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year\u2019s 10th anniversary show had 80 vehicles from various eras competing for awards in 12 classes. The show raised a record $13,000 for the center. A full-scale custom build 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle, from Visual FX in Green Cove Springs, was judged Best of Show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The San Jose Apartments board of directors and staff also secured support from additional sponsors and received generous donations at the show to propel this annual fundraiser over the $85,000 mark in total funding since its inaugural show in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A potential record turnout of more than 100 vehicles at this year\u2019s event could push total earnings over the $100,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alma Ballard, executive director\/management agent of Family Housing Management Company, is appreciative of the support given to San Jose Apartments and the Bishop Snyder Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoing into our 11th<\/sup> year is amazing; it shows the resilience of a great show and those that come year after year to support it,\u2019\u2019 Ballard said. \u201cThe show is like a family gathering to raise much-needed resources for such a worthy cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Snyder Community Center brings a sense of community and the social engagement of our most vulnerable \u2014 our seniors,\u2019\u2019 Ballard said. \u201cI am so proud of what we have accomplished and look forward to the future. We are blessed!\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ballard and the board have done an outstanding job securing and retaining sponsorships on all levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t do without our sponsors,\u2019\u2019 Ballard said. \u201cYou get \u2018X\u2019 amount of cars attending the show, but the true funds come in from the sponsors, who are friends, people that have heard about us or people within the community. They understand the need and they\u2019re just so open and willing to support it. I don\u2019t even have to just say, \u2018Are you willing to do it again next year?\u2019 And they\u2019re like, \u2018Yeah, sure.\u2019 It\u2019s amazing.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an area of the state that perennially has a crowded spring car calendar, the San Jose Car & Truck Show has done a solid job of building and sustaining a stellar reputation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judging by Dan Scanlan\u2019s experience with the show, that\u2019s quite true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat it says about this show is that people are aware that it\u2019s here; they know the quality is here,\u2019\u2019 said Scanlan, a veteran and award-winning automotive journalist and now news reporter for WJCT, who has judged all 10 shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eric Thompson, general sales manager of Key Hyundai knows firsthand how the San Jose Car & Truck Show has grown over the years and what it means to the residents of San Jose Apartments as well as to the dealership group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u00a0value our relationship very highly; we feel like it\u2019s part of our DNA to be part of this effort,\u2019\u2019 Thompson said. \u201cWe\u2019ve made so many good friends and relationships from being involved. It\u2019s just such a big, friendly group of people\u00a0who are\u00a0all working toward the same goal in a spirit of generosity for\u00a0the\u00a0San Jose\u00a0residents.\u2019\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
