Several times a year the club sponsors a program to help our communities in one way or another.
A portion of the proceeds from our annual AutoRama Car Show held at the Alamo Dome each year are put back in to our communities in a number of different ways.
In the past we have held huge Toy Drives at Christmas time for underprivileged children. We have also donated toys to the Children's Hospital in San Antonio.

The funds raised from our Pinstripers Auction at the AutoRama are donated to the local Salvation Army to be used as they see fit and where they are most needed.
This last year at our Community Appreciation Party, we donated over 200 plates of absolutely wonderful bar-b-que with all the fixins to the local Salvation Army center. These meals were prepared by a local VFW group, and they did a fantastic job, the food was great!






When we have a function that is catered, we try and use organizations that are also Not For Profit so that we benefit two organizations at the same time, by helping them and helping ourselves.
The Gear Grinders believe that we should not only enjoy life but should also contribute back to our communities so that others can also enjoy.
