Drive Out ALS Car Show Rolls into Leeds, April 26 – St. Clair News-Aegis

Get ready to rev your engines for a cause that truly matters. The 6th Annual Drive Out ALS Car Show will take place Saturday, April 26, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the front parking lot of The Shops of Grand River in Leeds. Hosted by Miss Hoover 2025, Emma Terry, in partnership with The Shops of Grand River, this event will be a great day of cool cars, community and compassion.

All types of vehicles including classic and contemporary cars, jeeps, trucks and motorcycles are invited to participate in this outdoor charity event that welcomes everyone who enjoys cars, supports the cause or seeks a great Saturday activity.

“The event holds a special place in my heart,” according to Terry, event organizer and ALS supporter. “My Grandy spent his time restoring classic cars and attending cruise-ins until his ALS diagnosis. The event serves as my tribute to him while I continue my mission against ALS. Don’t worry about making plans for April 26 — you’ve already got some.”

All proceeds benefit the ALS Association through Emma’s Steps for Stewart: Stomping Out ALS Community of Hope Fund. These funds directly support ALS patients and their families helping provide critical equipment, supplies and support services.

The event is free, but a $20 entry fee is required to enter the car show. For more information, email [email protected].

Awards include 5 Stewart’s Award Trophies and 1 People’s Choice Trophy.

Throughout her pageant career, Terry has earned titles including Miss Leeds Area Outstanding Teen 2020, Miss Alabama’s Outstanding Teen 2021, Miss UAB 2023 and Miss Jefferson County 2024 which enabled her to establish a purpose-driven platform. Leeds Mayor David Miller declared August 19 Emma Terry Day in 2021 to honor her outstanding achievements.

Among supporters, the Dixie Vintage Automobile Club is promoting this event. For more information, visit shopsofgrandriver.com or contact Emma at 205-577-2419.
