Eli’s Block Party Car Show is a benefit car show that raises money for pediatric cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent newspaper article:
The Eli’s Block Party Foundation car show began in 2014 while Eli Williams, the foundation’s namesake, was still alive and fighting medulloblastoma brain cancer. He loved muscle cars, especially Ford Mustangs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eli lost his battle in 2017, but Eli’s parents, Victor and Kristie Williams, have continued to host community events like annual car shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
