The Sunshine Corvette Club, an organization of Corvette owners and enthusiasts, recently staged a car parade and a Christmas gift giveaway for students at Neva King Cooper Educational Center in Homestead, a school for students with severe intellectual and physical disabilities.
Sponsored by Bomnin Chevrolet West Kendall, the outing marked the 32nd consecutive year the club has visited the historic school which is celebrating its 111th birthday this year.
“Everyone at the school, including students and faculty, love this event,” said Dr. Tracy Roos, principal of Neva King Cooper. “The Corvette parade is beautiful and seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces as they receive their Christmas presents from Santa is simply priceless.”
The day began with the multi-car parade featuring Corvettes of all colors, some decorated for the holidays. Following the parade, Neva King Cooper hosted a breakfast for the members of the Corvette Club. As a highlight of the breakfast, the Sunshine Corvette Club presented the school with a check for $9,000, representing proceeds from its car shows as well as donations from individual club members, Bomnin Chevrolet and the Goldsmith Foundation.
Following the breakfast, Santa Claus, along with the help of “elves” from the club, presented Christmas gifts to the students.
“This school does so much for these students that this is a great event we look forward to every year,” said Chico Goldsmith, president of the Sunshine Corvette Club. “Listening to the cheers from the students as we pull in with our cars and then seeing their faces light up when they get their presents is heartwarming. This—bringing joy to those less fortunate — is what the holidays are all about.”
