Huntington Beach – Edison High School needs money for educational programs. Thanks to corporate sponsors and the community, the high school inches closer to closing the gap on underfunded programs such as computers, printers, books, software and even the Career Center, which helps students plan their lives after they leave high school. A fund-raising event, Flash from the Past Car Show helps raise money for the needed programs and items to help students. Here's another page about the event, as well.

Bob Granger of Robert Granger Insurance Agency sponsored a recent Flash from the Past Car Show at Edison High School in Huntington Beach as a way of helping raise capital for projects that have suffered or been eliminated at this school due to budget cuts. A drive to raise $35,000 was earmarked for outside tables placed in the shade structure area where students can relax and enjoy a bite to eat. You would assume having this amenity at a high school would be a basic, but in budget crunches, all kinds of things disappear or fall into disrepair.

Thanks to community involvement, a host of sponsors and community nonprofit organization participants came out to help the worthy cause. If you would like to become involved, be sure to visit the Edison High School Foundation's website and contact them. Each year they hope to bring back the car show and they hope it will grow. Attending the event were event planners for another car show fundraiser held each year at Huntington Beach Central Park. They gave their support to the Flash from the Past Car Show, as their car show, Concours d'Elegance, also helps youth with books and educational programs in Huntington Beach, California.
