100% of every car show goes directly to the charities we name.

Every dollar raised at our car show events goes directly to that event's named beneficiary charities. Founded in partnership with Krause Family Ford, Krause for a Cause backs Community Missions Partnerships and other vetted nonprofits across Georgia, the Carolinas, and Florida.

Where Car Culture Gives Back

Every Mile for a Mission

Three ways the work gets done.

The Mission

A 501(c)(3) that channels the energy of car culture into the work that matters most, and gets the proceeds where they belong.

Our Story

Built in a garage. Aimed at something bigger.

It started at Krause Family Ford with a simple conviction: a dealership should be measured by more than the cars it moves. What the team had been doing quietly, one event at a time, grew into its own organization, and the doors are open wide to anyone in the car community who wants in.

Two engines. One purpose.

The Shows

Classics next to tuners. Pre-war iron next to hypercars.

We host car shows that mix every corner of the automotive world. The point is not which build wins. The point is who gets helped when the day is done. Every show is built around giving back, and we name the beneficiaries up front.

The Podcast

The longer story, in their own words.

It is conversations with the founders of the nonprofits we support, the families they serve, and the builders, drivers, and shop owners who put time and money behind them. Episodes drop on a regular schedule and live on every major listening platform.
