Coastal Carolina Mopars, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit car club in the Myrtle Beach area, uses their annual event, Mopars at the Beach, to support local charities. Each year, every single penny above the cost of holding the series of events is donated to deserving charities. Since 2016 a total of $62,100 has been donated to local charities through Mopars at the Beach. With that said, we wanted to use this page to tell you a little bit about the charities we have chosen.
Quilts of Valor Foundation (Myrtle Beach Chapter)
The mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation is to cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor. The foundation got its start in 2003 by founder, Catherine Roberts, whose son served in Iraq. She saw how war had touched her son and also saw quilts as a way of providing healing to those touched by war. She knew that the quilts had to be quality-made and must be an “award” rather than charity. She continued to develop and expand her model into what is today the Quilts of Valor Foundation, which has awarded over 180,000 quilts to deserving service members and veterans.
