CHEYENNE – The kickoff event for this year’s Cars, Cigars & Guitars Under the Stars charity classic car show was held recently at The Metropolitan Downtown in Cheyenne.

More than $200,000 was raised in the last four years. All net proceeds from the prior events went to eligible charities; that list includes Girls on the Run, Skills USA, COMEA House and Resource Center, K9’s for Mobility, Unaccompanied Students Initiative, Habitat for Humanity, Safehouse Services, Family Promise, Cheyenne Day of Giving, Meals on Wheels Cheyenne, Needs Inc., South Side Sluggers, Coats for Kids, Wyoming Breast Cancer Initiative, Veterans Rock and CASA of Laramie County, in addition to several other local charities.
