Model A Ford Club To Host Annual Event to Benefit AHC Students
JULY 14, 2026-- A local car club is celebrating 24 years of raising money for students in Allan Hancock College’s industrial technology program this September.
The Santa Maria Model A Ford Club will host its annual All Ford Car Show to benefit Hancock students Sept. 12 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. at Orcutt Union Plaza, located at 201 S. Broadway, in Orcutt.
The club’s long-running event has raised more than $100,000 for scholarships benefiting Hancock’s industrial technology students over the last 24 years.
“The car show is about more than classic cars. It’s about bringing our community together to invest in the next generation,” said Jay McCord, Model A Ford Club member and car show chairman. “Every scholarship awarded through this event helps students pursue their education, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see so many of them go on to successful careers.”
The Santa Maria Model A Ford Club has been a long-time supporter of Hancock’s auto body and auto technology programs. Founded by Chuck Bailey, a former Hancock instructor, and Van Newkirk, the club started its partnership with Hancock with two scholarships for $200 each.
