Just a note! All of us are aware of the damage that was done by the hurricane last fall in and around Ashville. They are still in a huge recovery mode so donations are still being accepted at the MANNA FoodBank and the Transylvania Tomorrow Small Business Hurricane Relief Fund. The recovery is far from over so Please, Please think about donating again to these non-profits!

Registration is now open for the 2025 Luft Wasser Porsche Celebration in Brevard.  Click on this link to register. This year we will be

 raising money to support Hurricane Relief efforts.

Over 200 Porsches will be arriving in Brevard, North Carolina on Saturday, April 26, 2025 for the 8th Annual Luft Wasser Porsche Celebration in Brevard.  All funds raised after expenses, from the $40 registration fee will be donated to MANNA FoodBank and the Transylvania Tomorrow Small Business Hurricane Relief Fund.  

A generous club member has agreed to match all donations to MANNA Foodbank.  You will be able to make extra donations if you wish to MANNA.  For every dollar that you give, it will mean $2 based on the matching fund contribution.

Luft Wasser will be helping to feed those in need in Transylvania County where the event is held, and the other 15 counties of Appalachian Region.  Funds will also be provided to help the recovery of small business in Transylvania County and the City of Brevard.  Bringing tourism back to Brevard with 350 PCA members and double that number as spectators and visitors to the city will be a big assist to stores and restaurants in the area.
