NEFN's 2nd Annual Car, Bike & Truck Show Raises $8,500 for Wounded Warriors and Local First Responders

HOLMDEL, N.J. – NEFN proudly hosted its 2nd Annual Car, Bike & Truck Show on Sunday, June 28, 2026, at Bell Works in Holmdel, bringing together automotive enthusiasts, local businesses, families, and members of the community for a day dedicated to supporting two meaningful causes.  The event welcomed more than 200 cars, bikes, and trucks, making it the largest and most successful show to date. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, participants, volunteers, and attendees, NEFN raised a total of $8,500 for charitable organizations.

As a result of the event's success, $5,000 was donated to the Wounded Warrior Project, supporting programs and services for injured veterans and their families, while $3,500 was donated to local first responders in recognition of their unwavering commitment to protecting and serving the community.

"We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support we received from everyone who participated," said CEO Mike Salvatore.  “Seeing more than 200 incredible vehicles on display while bringing the community together for such important causes exceeded all of our expectations.  This event continues to grow each year because of the generosity of our sponsors, volunteers, participants, and everyone who attended."  The event featured an impressive variety of classic cars, modern performance vehicles, motorcycles, and custom trucks, along with food, vendors, awards, and family-friendly activities throughout the day.

NEFN extends its sincere appreciation to Bell Works for allowing us to host the event, to HotRod Mike for his help and support, and to the Holmdel Fire Company #2 and the Holmdel First Aid Squad, the Monmouth County Sheriff's Department K-9 Unit, and the Wounded Warrior Project for attending and supporting our event.  We thank TNT Balloons, Hair by Ali, Deluxe Car Care, Dyecast Cars, and our food vendors- Smashburger, King of the Wings, HotDog Man, Kona Italian Ice, and Jersey Freeze for all participating in our day.  Also, our sincerest thanks to all of our volunteers, vehicle owners, and attendees whose support made this year's fundraiser possible.

"Building on this year's tremendous success, NEFN looks forward to making next year's Car, Bike & Truck Show even bigger while continuing its commitment to giving back to veterans, first responders, and the local community," said Sharee Salvatore, NEFN's Chief Culture Officer.

Our show will take place on the last Sunday of June each year, so next year the show will be on Sunday, June 27, 2027.
