Graffiti USA Classic Car Museum Celebrates 4th of July with Grand Marshals and Museum Preview
By Carly Russell
We’re excited to announce that this year’s 4th of July Parade in Modesto will be led by a very special group of Grand Marshals – the current and past chairmen of the Graffiti USA Classic Car Museum, Brent Burnside, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and John Sanders, past Chairman. The Graffiti USA Museum has become a well-known supporter of all things Modesto, even while still under construction, and has grown its presence in the community as a round-the-clock partner to a wide variety of organizations and local non-profits. It’s been providing a venue for fundraising, meeting space, and more.
To celebrate our selection as Grand Marshalls, the Graffiti USA Classic Car Museum will be showcasing classic cars driven by board members, advisors, volunteers, and friends of the Museum during the 4th of July Parade. Visitors to the parade will get a chance to see some of the most iconic and beloved cars of the past, as well as some of the Museum’s newest acquisitions. We hope to see you there!
At Graffiti USA Classic Car Museum we’re so much more than just a museum – we’re a community partner. Our team works tirelessly to support local organizations and non-profits as they seek to raise money, and awareness, and improve their footprint within the community. By supporting the Museum, you’re not only helping to foster the future of car culture in Modesto, but you’re also helping us build a dynamic and flexible venue space with a wide range of uses. These include activities designed to increase tourism to our area, educational events, annual fundraisers like crab feeds and benefits for the Arts, and much more. Thank you to the hundreds of groups that have considered partnering with us to help shape the future of our community!
The Graffiti USA Classic Car Museum is an excellent example of how businesses and organizations can collaborate to improve our community. Thanks to community partnerships, the museum provided kids aged 2 to 15 with inspiration, arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, and play activities throughout the month of June. These activities were available at over twelve Graffiti Summer Events, the State Theater, the Modesto Nuts, and more. Over 500 kids participated in the scavenger hunt and summer passport activities, earning gift certificates to Funworks, Boomers, McHenry Bowl, the State Theatre, Yogurt Mill, Galaxy Riverbank, Sno-White Drive-In, and the Great Valley Museum. We are grateful to these sponsors for making this summer even more special for the hundreds of kids who attended these FREE events in our community. We had an overwhelming response from kids and parents alike as they were thrilled to have the opportunity to earn rewards while exploring and developing a newfound interest in the classic cars displayed throughout our community.
