THE FOLLOWING IS A DANVILLE AREA COMMUNITY COLLEGE RELEASE
DANVILLE–It came together in just over a week, at a time of year when many car enthusiasts have put their show-vehicles away for the winter, and still it was a roaring success!
Community support of the Alex Dinger Memorial Car Show last Saturday, October 29 at DACC was inspiring. Despite their grief at the loss of a child, student, and classmate, the parents of Alex Dinger joined with his instructors and friends in the DACC Automotive program to host more than 150 cars for the competition, and dozens of children for a Trunk or Treat activity. The event raised more than $4,000, which will support the Automotive program in Alex’s name and honor, at his parents’ request.
Alex tragically lost his life in a car crash while traveling home on Saturday, October 15. He was a DACC student studying Automotive Technology. According to his mother, Alex felt he had found a second family with his Auto Tech classmates and instructors.
