Turkeys in the Trunk 2019

Checkered Flag and Euroclassics

About this event

Summer has finally retreated, hurricane season is past and Christmas decorations are on display at Wal-Mart (okay... they've actually been there since well before Halloween). It must be time for

Turkeys in the Trunk!!!

Please join us for a Saturday of fun and camaraderie at First Settlers Region's 10th annual Turkeys in the Trunk charity event at Checkered Flag Porsche in Virginia Beach and our joint event with Shenandoah Region at Euroclassics Porsche in Midlothian on 23 November 2019. 

Note:  To register for either the Virginia Beach or Richmond event, hit the "Continue" button at the bottom of this page.  After a second "Continue" button on the next page, you will be taken to the registration page.  There, you will have a choice to sign up for either Turkeys in the Trunk in Richmond, or Turkeys in the Trunk in Virginia Beach.  Please check the box next to the event you'd like to attend and a dropdown menu will prompt you to sign up for each portion of that particular event (i.e. the dealership portion and the follow-on lunch/evening social).   Please read on: 

This is a multi-region, multi-location event.  First Settlers and Shenandoah Regions will be joining forces again to help our neighbors in need this Thanksgiving season.

In Virginia Beach,  we'll be supporting the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore in their effort to collect food for the Thanksgiving season at their Mayflower Marathon food drive, a weekend long effort to fill as many big rigs as possible with donated food for distribution to less fortunate local families. 

In Richmond, we'll be supporting
the Greater Richmond Foodbank via "Feedmore", Central Virginia’s core hunger-relief organization dedicated to providing neighbors in need with healthy meals.  They'll have a freezer truck on site at Euroclassics Porsche to collect our donations.

Turkeys in the Trunk in Virginia Beach:  Load your front trunk, your back trunk, roof rack, passenger foot well.... wherever, with frozen turkeys, canned vegetables, yams, and the rest of the fixings for a Thanksgiving meal.  Don’t forget to leave room for your spouse, but tell them to pack lightly! 

Then head over to Checkered Flag Porsche, 2865 Virginia Beach Blvd for the start of the day. Pull into the service bay and our FSR crew will unload your donations, weight them, then reload them back into your car.  Whoever brings the most food, by weight, will win a Porsche prize donated by the dealership.  The weigh-in will be from 1:00 to 1:45PM.  PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE BEFORE 1PM, as their service department is open on Saturday until 1PM.  

After the weigh-in, we’ll drive to Pembroke Mall to offload our food donations at the Mayflower Marathon food drive.  Arrival of First Settlers is one of the highlights of the entire weekend for the Marathon.  There's no local car club that even comes close to our level of donations.  If you're making a monetary donation, please make your check out to the Foodbank of Southeastern VA.

Next, in recognition of the 10th anniversary of Turkeys-in-the-Trunk, we're going to have a redux of that event back in 2010 and check out three of our member's cool garages.  Door prizes await at each stop and we're going to have dinner, which will be a Chili Cook Off at the last garage. 

We have a full lineup of chili choices for the competition, so bring your discerning "chili tasting" palate and we'll have a people's choice vote.  Thanks to our members who signed up to compete (and provide us with dinner!).


Turkeys in the Trunk in Richmond Load up your frunk, trunk, passenger seat... whatever space you have, and head to Euroclassics Porsche in Midlothian (11900 Midlothian Turnpike) by 11:00AM.  Coffee and soft drinks will be provided.  We'll hang out, enjoy some PCA comraderie and check out Euroclassics' offerings.  Whoever brings the most food, by weight, will win a prize donated by the dealership. 

After we've loaded our donations into the Foodbank's freezer truck at the dealership, we'll head out on a fun run to the Fine Creek Brewing Company in Powhatan for lunch, courtesy of Shenandoah and First Settlers.  Should you decide to make a monetary donation, please make your check out to "Feedmore".


The best part of these events is giving back to the community, driving our favorite cars and finishing the day socializing with great friends!  Hope to see you there!

 

 


So hit the “Continue” button and sign up for a day of fun and charity!  You'll have the opportunity to sign up for either the Virginia Beach or Richmond event.


Please note:  The goal of this donation effort is to collect frozen turkeys, non-perishable food items and monetary donations.  Ideally, the food donated at the event can be turned into a fairly typical Thanksgiving meal for a person or family in need. The donated food is packed in boxes by volunteers for distribution before Thanksgiving.  So, please consider this when you decide what to donate.  Cash donations are also accepted at this event and you should make your check out directly to the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia or Feedmore.  These donations are also reflected in FSR's and Shenandoah's total charity proceeds.
