Community Involvement:
Capital City Corvette Club gets involved in our community. We host several car shows and races every year and use a large portion of the funds raised to give back to our community. We also take part in many local parades, car shows, etc. You will find that CCCC is made up of a group of caring individuals. Join us!

  • $500, in the form of two $250 automotive scholarships, was provided to Capital Area Career Center students in May. These scholarships are given in the memory of Colin Nethaway, a former student of CACC. Colin's parents matched the funds donated by CCCC to bring the scholarship total to $1,000 for 2008.
