Sports Car Group Makes Grand Entrance at Ferry

It is not unexpected to see unusual things here at the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, but this was a first; a group of so many sports cars affiliated together. It was a hot August day and the Ferry Administration building started to rumble. Employees got up to see what was going on outside and were treated to a sight of 25 sports cars in all colors and models preparing to board the next crossing.

The Stay Driven Foundation members drive from Maine to Miami each year for fundraising purposes. By the time they had arrived at the Cape May terminal on Monday, June 26th, they had driven 500 miles. They would finally enjoy a nice break crossing the Bay on the Ferry. These charitable car lovers were ready to rally to raise money and awareness for their selected charities of the year.
