Car Show Sponsors
“We’re proud to celebrate our thirteenth year honoring veterans through this incredible community event. It’s more than a car show—it’s a tribute to service and a celebration of community spirit. As our largest fundraiser, it plays a vital role in supporting the urgent needs of veterans and their families throughout the year.”
Thank you to everyone who makes the Flags & Honor Car Show a success year after year!
Behind the scenes, dozens of dedicated volunteer members work tirelessly to make this event happen. From arranging, promoting, and fundraising to setting up tents, tables, and the kitchen—they do it all!
They register cars, MC the event, grill, boil and shuck corn, park cars, sell food, beverages, and shirts, tally votes, hand out trophies, tear down, collect garbage, and send off the cars at the end of the day.
And it’s not just members—many non-members step up to help too. This event is truly a community effort.
All proceeds benefit veterans in Chaska, Carver, Shakopee, and surrounding communities. Funds help provide urgent support for veterans and their families, including food, housing assistance, utility bills, vehicle repairs, and other short-term needs not covered by traditional assistance programs.
