Each year the Columbus Automobile Dealers host a Charity Gala during the Columbus International Auto Show. They celebrate the show with fellow professionals in the automotive industry and raise funds to give back to local organizations in the Columbus and Central Ohio community. In 2018, the Charity Gala raised a record $189,000 for The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio, and the Childhood League Center.
In 2019 the Columbus Automobile Dealers Association will raise money and recognize three more amazing central Ohio charities --Dreams on Horseback, Pink Ribbon Girls and Second & Seven Foundation.
Dreams on Horseback was founded to help people with challenges improve their lives through horse-assisted experiences and education. Programs include Therapeutic Riding Lessons, Equine Assisted Learning, Alzheimer's Sensory Experiences, Vocational Training, and Military Connections just to name a few.
