Springtime in California is always special, and there is hardly a better way to enjoy it than driving your favorite car along the many classic back roads and byways of the Golden State. Back for our fourth multi-day signature event, the 2019 Drive Toward a Cure “California Adventure” will continue to set itself apart from other driving events.

In 2019, the event will begin in Scotts Valley, CA (south of San Jose) with a visit to the unparalleled facilities at Canepa Motorsports and then travels to the astonishing Mozart Automobile Museum. Our first dinner and overnight stay at the Fairmont San Jose will set us up for an amazing drive over the Coastal Mountain Range, across the Central Valley, and into the Sierra-Nevada Mountains on our way to Yosemite National Park.

With our visit to the Parkinson’s Institute – a world-leader in both Parkinson’s Disease research and patient care, and one of our key beneficiaries – we hope to give our event additional meaning for all our guests.

*** Your charitable donation deduction for federal income tax purposes is defined as the excess of the amount of money contributed minus the value of certain goods or services provided by the charity as required by the IRS. Certain other costs associated with your registration and/or overall event costs do not need to be counted toward the value of goods or services provided to the registrant. A good faith estimate of the value of goods and services to be provided is $2,351 as of March 2019. Therefore the tax deductible amount is $3,099 (based on an entry fee of $5,450 for a two-person entry). Any variation in your registration fee will be reflected in your tax deductible amount. Your ability to take a tax deduction depends on your tax situation. Please consult an accountant.
