The Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer debuted the most recent addition to its growing collection of donated fundraising cars, informally known as “Hatch’s Garage,” at last week’s World of Wheels at the Chattanooga Convention Center. The new car, a 1951 Dodge Pilothouse Wrecker, was on display each day of the event.
An anonymous family that loves kids recently donated the car to the Foundation. The vehicle will be making appearances at local events over the next several months to raise awareness for the Foundation before being auctioned in September at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Las Vegas, Nev. All proceeds from the auction will benefit children and families affected by pediatric cancer through the Austin Hatcher Foundation.
The car, created to be a real-life depiction of a well-known animated vehicle, is expected to be a big hit with children.
The Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer provides services to children with cancer, as well as their families, through its cancer care center, Hatch’s House of Hope. The Foundation provides all services at no cost to the families. For more information, visit www.hatcherfoundation.org.
The comprehensive services offered by Hatch’s include individual and group counseling, marital and family counseling, speech and occupational therapy, music and art therapy, cognitive skills remediation, academic coaching, financial counseling, and diversionary therapy events. Services are provided from diagnosis through treatment, during remission, and into adulthood.
