In September 2024, J & B Body Works hosted their second annual charity car show, with an initial goal of raising $20,000 for PWANY in honor of a family member diagnosed with PWS.
J & B Body Works is a high end collision shop in Mount Vernon, NY. Their charity car shows bring together amazing cars to support worthy causes. They crushed their goal in 2024 and raised over $60,000. In addition to supporting the mission of the Alliance, the family requested that a portion of the proceeds be designated to support research benefitting the PWS community.
PWANY is incredibly grateful for the efforts of the Kelleher family and J & B Body Works!
