Horsepower for a Cause

On April 26, 2026, we proudly hosted the 22nd Annual Kimal Lumber Classic Car Show – an event that will be remembered as one of the most meaningful and successful in our history. Not only did we experience a phenomenal turnout and an incredible display of classic cars, but we also achieved a milestone we are especially proud of raising the highest amount of money ever in the history of our car show.

This event represents far more than a gathering of beautiful vehicles – it reflects the heart of who we are. It’s about coming together as a team, as a company, and as a community to make a difference. Seeing our employees, volunteers, customers, and partners unite with a shared purpose is truly inspiring. At Kimal Lumber, we often talk about being a family, and events like this bring that to life in the most powerful way.

We are honored to support two extraordinary organizations: the Ronald McDonald House and Johns Hopkins Children’s Hospital. The opportunity to give back to charities that provide comfort, care, and hope to families and children in need is something we do not take lightly. Being able to present these organizations with record-breaking contributions is both humbling and deeply rewarding.

This success would not have been possible without the dedication and teamwork of our Kimal Lumber volunteers. From planning and organizing to execution on the day of the event, every individual played a role in making this year’s show exceptional. It is a testament to what can be accomplished when people come together with passion and purpose.

As we reflect on the success of April’s car show, we are already looking ahead with excitement for another opportunity to continue this journey of giving. With the same spirit and commitment, we aim to once again raise money and further support the incredible charities we are privileged to partner with.

At the end of the day, this is about more than events or fundraising totals. It’s about walking the path we believe in – one of generosity, responsibility, and community impact. We are grateful to everyone who helped make this event so special, and we look forward to continuing to make a difference together.
