BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
The Annual Cruise-in and Fly-in event is back this weekend in Cameron.
It's non-profit's — Project Maynardstang — largest fundraising event of the year to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
The money from merch sales and entry fees from the car show all contribute to research and cover medical fees.
The organization raised about $4,600 last year.
Founders Cody and Scott Schoppe say they don't have a set goal this year, believing even a little goes a long way.
"I said if I can't do something for myself, always try to do something for other people that are in the same position, and so that's kind of how it started," Cody said.
"For us, it's a way to give back as well," Scott said.
