GEARING UP AND GIVING BACK

"Gearing Up and Giving Back," that is the slogan that the Carlisle Events family has embraced to celebrate 35 years of being the host of ten automotive events that bring over half a million automotive and motorcycle enthusiasts to the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds and to the central Pennsylvania region each year.
GEARING UP
The Carlisle Events team, known to insiders as a family, is gearing up for the final and oldest event held at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds: Fall Carlisle. Fall Carlisle is a utopia to collector, classic and custom car and truck enthusiasts, and signals the ending of the automotive hobby season for those living in the northern United States and Canada. For five days - September 30 - October 4 - Fall Carlisle, held at the 102-acre Carlisle PA Fairgrounds, is home to a unique and massive crowd of folks who share one common passion: love for all things automotive. In addition to the camaraderie shared at Fall Carlisle, these "gear heads" come from all across the United States, Canada and Europe for the shopping experience. 8,100 spaces, with limited space still available, will be jam packed with automotive parts, accessories and memorabilia including more than 1,800 vehicles of all makes, models and prices for sale in the car corral. And to top off all of the shopping during the daytime, the buying and selling excitement will continue on Thursday and Friday evenings at the Fall Carlisle Collector Car Auction.

GIVING BACK
"To be a responsible member of the communities in which we operate" is the second line in the Carlisle Events mission statement. Carlisle Events and their 25 full-time employees take that mission very seriously by donating time, resources and money to many charities and non-profit causes, not only during their show season but throughout the year. Whether it is a local branch of a national organization, small groups capitalizing on the generous guests attending an event held at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds, or helping events within the community in which they operate with resources, Carlisle Events is giving back in many ways.

The Salvation Army of Carlisle is a branch of a national charitable organization that is also a major recipient of the generosity of Carlisle Events. Bill Miller Jr., one of Carlisle Events' founders and co-owners, is also Chairman of The Salvation Army Publicity Committee. As such he heads many of the projects that the two groups team up on including the car auctions at Spring and Fall Carlisle that raise over $60,000 with 100% proceeds going directly to The Salvation Army of Carlisle.

Goodwill from the fairgrounds can also be felt during the specialty automotive events that take place at the fairgrounds. Jenn Martek, Executive Assistant with Carlisle Events, runs the Women's Oasis area throughout the season and makes a point to involve local charities whenever she can. In addition to giving women who attend the automotive events their own area to enjoy shopping and services aimed at female attendees, the Women's Oasis raises money by donating space and hosting a bingo game in which 100% of the profits go back to aid the organization participating at that particular event. Local charities that have benefited include the Downtown Carlisle Association, local Girl Scout troops, Paws, Furry Friends Network and PA Cancer Awareness Network.

Events in the local community that are made possible through the donation of resources from Carlisle Events include hosting the United Way's annual U-Turn and Yard Sales, Salvation Army Holiday Shop and Meal Distribution headquarters, local school science fairs and Toys for Tots campaigns. Every year in early July, Carlisle Events also donates the use of their 102-acre facility for the Carlisle Firework Display. This year's show was salvaged through donations for the fireworks themselves and could not have been held if not for the venue of the fairgrounds.

Additional charitable donations and works include:

• Chip Miller Charitable Foundation: Five annual events held to honor the memory of Carlisle Events co-owner and co-founder Chip Miller who passed away from the little-known disease Amyloidosis.
