This past weekend, the Missouri State University campus and the Springfield community came together for a day filled with excitement, camaraderie, and most importantly, hope. The 11th annual MSU Hope on Wheels Car Show, organized by the Missouri State University American Marketing Association (AMA) in partnership with Convoy of Hope, was a resounding success, leaving a lasting impact on all who attended.

From the moment attendees arrived, the air was filled with anticipation and enthusiasm. The event, held on April 20th, brought together MSU friends and members of the Springfield community for a day of fun and philanthropy. From yard games to raffles, food trucks to live music, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

At the heart of the event was the partnership with Convoy of Hope, an organization dedicated to delivering hope through addressing hunger, poverty, and disaster relief efforts worldwide. The funds raised during the car show will contribute to Convoy of Hope’s mission, supporting their ongoing efforts to make a difference in the lives of those in need.

Under the guidance of Dr. Jenifer Skiba from the Marketing Department, the MSU AMA, led by VP of Programming Courtney Stanbury, worked tirelessly to ensure the event’s success. Their dedication, along with the support of volunteers, participants, and attendees, truly made a difference.

As classic and unique cars lined the venue, attendees were not only treated to a visual feast but also a reminder of the power of community coming together for a common cause. The event showcased the potential of collective efforts in backing important causes and making a tangible impact on the world around us.

In closing, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who played a part in making the 11th annual MSU Hope on Wheels Car Show a memorable and meaningful experience. Let us continue to stand behind Convoy of Hope and similar initiatives, knowing that together, we can make a difference and bring hope to those who need it most.
