CHERRY'S HISTORY –
In 1992, members of the Hospital Foundation's Special Events Committee were challenged to develop a new event to add to existing annual fund raising activities of the Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital Foundation.  The Committee examined many ideas and opinions for special benefit events that would be both exciting and profitable. 

The leadership of this Committee, many of whom are renowned for their efforts in other charitable community organizations, developed the concept of a car show and festival based on the interest and pledges of support from car enthusiast friends and acquaintances.  Inspired to choose a name that describes both the stars--"cherry" cars--and the festival nature of the event, "Cherry's Jubilee" was coined to portray the activities planned to be entertaining for all ages. Since its first year, Cherry's Jubilee has raised over a million dollars to help provide the best health care facility and services at Memorial Hospital for you, your families and friends, and your employees.

THE EVENT–
Cherry's Jubilee has grown tremendously from the success of its inaugural year 1993.  Thanks to the efforts of many volunteers who believe in their community's Hospital, Cherry's Jubilee has become an annual special event to benefit the Hospital Foundation, as well as the region's economy. Planned for "never-a-dull-moment," Cherry's Jubilee will again offer a buffet of activities to choose from...whether you're interested in perusing the display of cars 1973 and older, a sports  or special interest cars, or motorcycles  polished and in their prime...or taking a "hot lap" ...or being entertained by the music of the past--there's something planned for everyone!
