BrightStone Receives Contribution from Local Antique Car Club


Members of the local Battlefield Region Antique Automobile Club of America recently shared not only their prized automobiles with BrightStone students and staff, but also a $1,000 contribution to help further BrightStone’s mission.

Interested in supporting and learning more about local charities, several club members recently shared lunch at BrightStone, meeting the students and touring the facility. “We wanted to make a significant impact with our contribution, and are pleased to assist the adult students at BrightStone with their work based learning program,” said Gerry Schmidt, club president.

Students were able to view and learn about the restoration of the 1957 Ford Thunderbird, belonging to Mr. Schmidt, as well as Mr. Paul Minor’s 1951 Hudson Hornet, affectionately referenced as ‘Doc Hudson’s Brother’ (referring to the popular character from the Disney movie, Cars).
