Members of the River City Corvette Club drove their iconic sports cars to East Ridge City Hall, Friday afternoon, to present a check to the Needy Child Fund.

Ron Kellogg, the president of the organization, said the $2,000 presented to Chief Mike Williams was proceeds from the ‘Vette club’s car show at Camp Jordan last August.

Last year’s show, Kellogg said, was the second at the city’s park, and he hopes to continue to partner with East Ridge in doing car shows in the future.

Kellogg said that Camp Jordan Arena is the ideal place to have the show, as it is an indoor venue that accommodates 100 cars.

“We can have it there come rain or shine,” he said. “Nobody wants to show off their car in the rain and have to wipe it down.”

Chief Williams said he was very grateful for the check, which will go to provide Christmas presents to less fortunate children in the city. The Needy Child Fund also provides assistance to children and their families throughout the year.
