Downtown Guelph Exotic Car Show

The Prince Adventures Downtown Exotic Car Show takes place each year in the heart of downtown Guelph. Having just completed its fifth year in 2023, this event has now surpassed $170,000 in funds raised for BBBSG, due largely to the commitment and leadership of local car group organizer, Jamie Prince, with sponsorship support from the Policaro Group, Safe Auto, Moose Lake Dental and more! With Lambourghinis, Ferraris, McLarens and a classic Delorean having attended previously, this is a great opportunity for car enthusiasts to get an up-close look at some of the region’s finest luxury vehicles.

Cars for a Cause

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph would like to thank Robinson Buick GMC for their generous donation to help support mentoring youth in our community. “Cars for a Cause” was a remarkably successful campaign run by the local dealership in 2022, which involved a $25 donation to BBBSG for every car sold over six months. The total donation, supporting 600 youth enrolled in BBBSG’s mentoring programs, amounted to $11,525.

“This incredible gift will ensure that our organization can swiftly and intentionally match at-promise youth with a trained volunteer mentor, supporting these matches to help the child reach their full potential,” said Executive Director Michael Treadgold. “Community support like this is critical to support the health and well-being of so many youth in the local community.

GuelphToday.com Best Summer Ever

This unique matching gift program, which took place in 2023 spearheaded by our local digital media leaders, GuelphToday.com, brought the business community and local residents together in support of mentoring in Guelph and across all Village Media sites in Ontario. Fifteen local donors had their $25 gifts matched 16 times (!!) by local businesses, including GuelphToday.com, to collectively raise more than $7,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph.
