Marking its 22nd year, the Benedictine Foundation Chrome City Fundraiser will occur on Saturday, July 27th, on the Benedictine campus in Ridgely, Maryland. This annual event draws hundreds of classic car and motorcycle enthusiasts to Benedictine’s Ridgely campus to support its mission.
Custom cars, classic cars, hot rods, and motorcycles are all invited to participate in a day of fun and entertainment, with door prizes, a car and motorcycle competition, live music, and more. If you don’t have a classic car or motorcycle, you can still join the festivities, as there will be a lot of cars and motorcycles on display.
