Y.A.L.E. School Hosts Second Annual Halloween Trunk-or-Treat Car Show

Family-friendly event is free and open to the community

Y.A.L.E. School NJ will host its second annual Halloween at Y.A.L.E. School Car Show, presented by the South Jersey Camaro Car Club, on Saturday, October 19, 2024, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at Y.A.L.E. School’s Ellisburg Campus in Cherry Hill (11 Connecticut Avenue). This FREE, family-friendly event will offer members of the community a safe and fun Halloween experience.

“We’re excited to bring the Car Show back for a second year,” said Noah McKay, School-to-Work Supervisor at Y.A.L.E. School and an organizer of the Car Show. “We had a terrific time and a great turnout last year. The car owners really got into the spirit of the day and the children enjoyed trick-or- treating. We’re looking forward to another fun outing for families and a successful event for charity.”

The event will be structured like a traditional “trunk-or-treat” – featuring a variety of Halloween-themed decorated cars, an assortment of food trucks, music, basket auction and “Best Of” contests. Members of the South Jersey Camaro Car Club and Y.A.L.E. students will be judging the contests – with the first 30 winners receiving handmade trophies created by Y.A.L.E. students.
