Car show raises more than $10,000 for donation

Meeting and beating the goal set by last year’s benefit, the second annual Preston Schuetze Memorial Car Show presented a check for $10,564.94 to the Children’s Bereavement Center of South Texas.
The car show, held at the Lakehills Community Center, is held now annually to honor Preston Schuetze, a car and motorcycle enthusiast, who died in 2021, leaving behind his wife and three young sons.
“The Children's Bereavement Center was instrumental in helping my grandsons at the loss of their father. Often, we as adults are sad and grieving and when we look at the children and seeing them engage in an activity, such as playing a game, we think all is okay. The Children’s Bereavement Center helped Preston’s sons when everyone was grieving. They called them on the phone, visited with them, provided counseling, and even met them outside of school to help them,” Preston’s mother Sherree Schuetze said.
In 2022, the show’s first year, nearly $8,000 was made in donations. The profits from next year’s show will go toward the Preston Schuetze Scholarship fund, which will provide scholarship money to high school graduates who plan to attend a trade school. Preston was a seasoned HVAC Technician.
“A huge thank you and hug to everyone who helped…. this would have not been possible without you,” Sherree said.
