Grant Gouldie Benefit Car Show Scheduled for Saturday

An Unforgettable Community Event to Support a Local Hero

The parking lot at Halls High School will transform into an exciting benefit car show to support the family of Grant Gouldie. The event will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

About Grant Gouldie

A devoted family man, Grant Gouldie serves as a trooper with the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Grant and his wife Amanda are parents to three kids who are currently in middle and elementary school. Regrettably, Gouldie has been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer. Friends and community members have gathered to support Gouldie during this challenging time, organizing a massive fundraiser to assist the family.

Buckle Up for the Benefit Car Show

The major part of Saturday’s fundraising plan is expected to captivate vehicle enthusiasts of all ages. For a fee, participants can enter their cars, motorcycles, and jeeps into the show. The day’s showpiece is expected to attract a diverse selection of automobile entries, creating an interesting display for attendees.

An Interactive Showcase for Kids and Adults Alike

Amongst the shiny display of automobiles, the event will also feature a ‘touch a truck’ area. Vehicles from the police bomb squad, K-9, SWAT, helicopter, cruiser, THP motor unit, critical incident response unit, and roll-over demonstration will be available to explore. A small contribution will allow visitors to interact with these fascinating vehicles.

Food Trucks and More

Visitors can energize themselves for the day with the on-site food trucks, expected to cater to a wide variety of culinary tastes. After building their appetites at the car show, attendees can continue their adventurous day with a THP-escorted ride to Norris Dam. The convoy is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.

How to Support Gouldie’s Family

While the car show is the main event, further donations towards Grant’s family can be made via a Gofundme account. All proceeds from the event and the fundraising page will directly support the Gouldie family, assisting them during a tough time.

AN UNPRECEDENTED COMMUNITY RESPONSE

The upcoming benefit car show underscores the power of community. Local residents, business owners, and law enforcement agencies alike have combined efforts to host an event that hopes to provide essential financial support for the Gouldie family while strengthening community bonds.

Supporting the Trooper

The exceptional efforts made to support Grant Gouldie serve as a reminder of the importance of unity during adversity. With the upcoming benefit car show and the active Gofundme page, community members and people everywhere can contribute to lighten the Gouldie family’s burdens during this challenging time.
