We are currently looking for Saturday Judges for the Classic Auto Show, as well as Ramp Captains for Saturday and Parking Assistants for Friday and Saturday to make sure we get every collector car owner on the field and to their right parking spot. For those who bring cars to our show, this is THE most important position next to Judging.

The event depends on you! If you can volunteer your time, please download the Volunteer Registration Form (pdf) or call the Arthritis Foundation at 614.876.8200 or email Leslie Johnson at lesliejohnson@arthritis.org. Thank you for your support!

Each year, it takes more than 200 volunteers, 60 committee members, and the entire staff of the Arthritis Foundation, Central Ohio Chapter, to plan, organize, promote, and execute the Arthritis Foundation Classic Auto Show & Cruise-In. This is a huge task which requires a year-long planning cycle. The planning of the 26th Annual Classic Auto Show & Cruise-In is particularly intensive because of the many special events and ceremonies that will be a part of the celebration. Consequently, your help is needed more than ever!

Join the Arthritis Foundation Classic Auto Show & Cruise-In committee to help make the 26th Annual Classic Auto Show & Cruise-In the largest and most successful event ever!

Just like you, all 60 members of the Arthritis Foundation Classic Auto Show & Cruise-In committee are automobile enthusiasts. The devoted committee meets once a month to work on all aspects of the event in order to organize and present the highest quality and most enjoyable event possible. The committee invites you to join them! If you would like more information about joining the committee, please contact Michelle Thomas at 614.876.8200, or mthomas@arthritis.org

On February 26th, 2007, the Arthritis Foundation Classic Auto Show & Cruise-In committee conducted its monthly meeting in downtown Columbus at the Capital Club. All committee members present took a moment to gather for a group photo (below).
