What We Do
Each Christmas the club members, along with
Santa visits our local Adena Medical Center and
nursing homes to pass out Christmas cards and
teddy bears to the children and older patients
confined during the holidays.

Many of our charitable efforts have been
geared to the Christmas season. Over the
years, we have donated to several local
organizations such as the "Helping Hands",
"Christmas Cheer" and local church groups.

Richard Brown presenting a check to Pastor
Glenn Newland of the Bourneville Christian
Union Church. The money will be used to
provide Christmas gifts and clothing for
children amd seniors in the Ross County
Area.
Located in Chillicothe, Ohio, each year we organize
cruise-ins and our annual Rod Run car show to raise
money to donate to local charities. Our annual Rod
Run is held the third Sunday in August each year in
the city's beautiful Yoctangee Park. Our 2010 Show is
scheduled for August 15. See the "2010 Show" page
for more info.
2008 was a good year for our fund raising
efforts. The huge success of our annual rod
run as well as the McDonalds cruise-ins gave
us the opportunity to donate $1,000 to the
Good Samaritan Food Pantry of Ross County
along with canned goods collected during
the last cruise-in. An additional $1,000 was
donated to the Ronald McDonald House by
the Igniters this year.

Our fund raising efforts in 2009 again allowed
us to donate $1,000 to the Good Samaritan
Food Pantry of Ross County which helps
feed the needy folks in our area. The Club
also donated $500 to the Ronald McDonald
House.
The Jim Bucy Memorial Scholarship, which was suspended in 2008 will
be re-instated this year. Beginning in 2010 we will be awarding a $500
scholarship to a graduate of the Pickaway Ross Joint Vocational School
who has elected to further their education in the automotive mechanical
or autobody field by attending a technical college fulltime. The recipient
will be selected based on academic achievement and monetary need.
