The San Marino Motor Classic returned to Lacy Park the last weekend of August. The annual staple of the town’s social calendar featured more than 500 mint-condition collector cars and the most car-related attractions since the event’s inception.
On Saturday evening, more than 600 attended a gala in Lacy Park to benefit the event’s charities.
The San Marino Motor Classic is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with no paid employees that “proudly supports community organizations each year,” according to Aaron Weiss, chairman of the event. Through the 2021 Motor Classic, more than $2.3 million has been awarded to the event’s charitable beneficiaries.
