World of Wheels

The Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta was recently selected by the World of Wheels organization to receive the proceeds from the Pinstripers Charity Art Auction. Chas Sydney, Event Director, and his wife Donna Sydney are the parents of Megan, their 26 year old daughter with Down syndrome. The Sydney family is a long-time supporter and members of the DSAA. Pinstripers donated their time and talent to creating unique art items that were auctioned off live from the World Congress Center February 9-11th. The World of Wheels is a car show dedicated to owners of hot rods, classic cars and trucks. Pinstripers and car enthusiasts from around the country compete to win the “best of show” in their automobile’s category. The Charity Art Auction raised nearly $12,000 for the DSAA. A special thank you goes to the time and talent of all the pinstripers, the generous donors and the following DSAA volunteers who worked at the fundraising event: Steven LaVance, Russ Plugge, Corrinna Wright, Jennifer Carroll, Joe Carroll, Stephanie Meredith, and Michelle Norweck.
