HIGH POINT, N.C., April 12, 2016 – High Point University’s Sigma Nu fraternity held a Car Show on April 9 at Oak Hollow Festival Park where they raised $4,000 for Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), an organization that provides care to those that are grieving the death of a loved one that served in the Armed Forces.
The Car Show featured more than 150 exotic and luxury vehicles. The event was sponsored by Shine Shop Automotive, Foreign Cars Italia, Vann York Chevy and Bentley of High Point.
