A series of classic car shows over
the summer helped raise money for a
Bayside children’s hospital.
From mid-July to the end of August,
the Cord Meyer Development Company
hosted regular car shows at the Bay
Terrace Shopping Center, which featured
automobiles from Jackie DeLuca
and the Queens Classic Car Club.
Through 50/50 raffles, participants
at the events raised $3,000 for St.
Mary’s Hospital for Children.
Additionally, Cord Meyer provided
a $10,000 sponsorship for the October
Big Hearts Walk for St. Mary’s Kids.
The Bayside hospital is the city’s
only pediatric post-acute facility,
caring for children with special health
care needs and medically complex
conditions.
“Cord Meyer and our Bay Terrace
Shopping Center have a long history of
supporting area not-for-profits, including
St. Mary’s,” said Cord Meyer CEO
Matthew Whalen. “We were thrilled to
partner with the Queens Classic Car
Club this summer for the hugely popular
car shows and are honored to join
them in presenting St. Mary’s with this
donation. More than a shopping center,
the Bay Terrace has become a true
community destination and we look
forward to hosting more events here
that see the community come together
for important local causes.”
The development company said that
the car show and other arts and culture
events are part of its mission to be the
“heart of the community.”
