About this event

Please join us on 1-2 May at the Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront for our annual Spring Charity Event!!  Here's what's in store:

  • Welcome Party on Friday night to get the weekend started.

  • Gimmick Rally/Scavenger Hunt on Saturday morning.
  • Lunch on Saturday “Blue Pete’s” - an iconic restaurant in the heart of Pungo

  • A gourmet heavy hors d'oeuvres dinner on Saturday night with a waterfront view overlooking the Boardwalk and ocean.
  • A Silent Auction with some great items available - all proceeds go directly to charity.
  • Final details of each event to include locations, addresses, times, directions, instructions and everything-else-you-need-to-know will be sent out before the event.

Friday Night Welcome Party:  Hosted by FSR – no cost.        

  • The Welcome Cocktail Party will be from 6-8 PM and hosted by Bud and Boolie Syme along with the Boys Home of Virginia.  The party will be 6-8PM at The Shellfish Company on Shore Drive.

Saturday Morning Gimmick Rally/Scavenger Hunt

  • This event will challenge your interpretive, navigational and social skills (to see if you can get along with your co-driver)!  We’ll drive around the local area, enjoying some nice roads while trying to figure out what the directions are actually telling us.  Expect the event to last about an hour and a half and it will end up at our lunch location.  It'll be a blast!

Saturday Lunch at Blue Pete’s:  $25 per person.           

  • Lunch will be at Blue Pete’s in the wilds of Pungo - This local’s secret is located on a beautiful five acre spot near the Back Bay National Wildlife Sanctuary. “If you come in for one experience, you are bound to come back for another. Our atmosphere is an awe inspiring gift from Mother Nature.”

Saturday Afternoon “Shine and Show” on the Boardwalk:

  • At about 2PM, we will rendezvous north of the Hilton and proceed as a group via police escort and park our cars on the Boardwalk in front of the Hilton. The police will even stick around to keep an eye on our cars. 
  • The “Shine and Show” will be 2-5PM and is a low-key, People’s Choice affair, so please leave your Q-tips and white gloves at home.  We'll get an overhead shot of all our Porsches on the Boardwalk that'll be suitable for framing.
  • While the cars are parked on the Boardwalk you can enjoy other beach events including the Atlantic Coast Kite Flying Festival.  You can sip a cocktail on the Hilton patio bar or bring your boogie board and ride the waves!           

Saturday Evening Dinner and Silent Auction:  $79 per person.
