Midwest Pride In Your Ride Raises $112,578

Midwest Pride In Your Ride raised some big numbers this year.

Event organizer Eldon Jaeger of Worthington announced the totals on KMCH Tuesday morning.

The annual truck and tractor show held at Tri-State Raceway in Earlville is a huge fundraiser for the Relay for Life – with this year’s proceeds split up among Dyersville and Delaware County.

Over $868,000 has been raised since Jaeger started the annual event twelve years ago in memory of his daughter, Brenda, who passed away from cancer. Every year since, he’s worked with his crew of trucking buddies and volunteers to raise money to find a cure. 

Be sure to mark your calendars for next year’s Midwest Pride In Your Ride event on May 6th and 7th.
