Want to make a car show better instantly? Just add a party to celebrate Mike Thies’s 75th birthday and plenty of birthday cake.
We seldom need much coaxing to come out to a Georgia Cool Cruisers car show. But adding Mike’s birthday party and a chance to visit Top-End Motors quickly became an offer we couldn’t refuse.
As many of you would attest, Mike Thies has been a driving force in the Atlanta car culture for many years. His South East Wheels event page is a go-to source for the latest on area events and car-related information.
Mike’s service to the Atlanta area car culture extends even further with his I-VAN International Vehicle Appraisers Network.
You could tell by the enthusiastic turnout that this would be a fun car-loving birthday party.
Georgia Cool Cruisers, Of Course
It only seems natural that Georgia Cool Cruisers would be the ones to organize the birthday bash at Top-End Motors. Since the Georgia Cool Cruisers club formed in June of 2013, they’ve been a fixture in Atlanta’s car scene.
Typically their charity car show in February kicks off an ambitious event season that runs late into the year. This hard-working club host several charity-driven car shows every year across the metro area.
Their efforts have generated over $150,000 for great causes. The list of notable charities includes Toys for Tots, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and USO Georgia, Furkids.
They’ve also supported Hot Rodders Children’s Charity and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Over the years, Rick Ellis and the club have carefully crafted a winning car show formula. Consistently their shows are entertaining, charity-focused events that bring traffic to the hosting business.
A Georgia Cool Cruiser’s event is a fun win for everyone involved.
Furkids Brings The Puppies
Puppies? Did someone say Furkids animal rescue & shelters showed up with adorable mixed-lab puppies?
Yes, we were there for the Corvettes, but we’ve got a soft spot for rescue animals. As we were to learn, this is Furkid’s 20th anniversary year.
To celebrate this milestone, they are hosting an event at their headquarters at 5235 Union Hill Rd, Cumming, GA, on Saturday, April 9th, 2022, from 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm.
It is a great chance to get together with like-minded animal lovers and celebrate the thousands of animals they’ve saved from abuse and abandonment while raising funds to save thousands more.
Enjoy live music, an open bar, dinner, and live and silent auctions to benefit Furkids’ 20 years of lifesaving work. You will also get a sneak peek at their Event Center under construction!
The guest speaker will be Jackson Galaxy, the host of My Cat from Hell and a two-time New York Times best-selling author.
