Car rally and show to support Cumming Boys & Girls Club
The free car rally at the Bagwell club raised money for programs serving 300 Forsyth youth in a 21,000-square-foot center.
A free lineup of exotic, luxury, sports and custom cars took over the Tommy & Chantal Bagwell Boys & Girls Club in Cumming on Sunday, June 7, as the inaugural Driven to Inspire: Car Rally and Car Show raised money for youth development programs that families in Forsyth County depend on after school and through the summer. The event at 2150 Antioch Road was more than a display for car lovers. It was a direct push to strengthen the county’s only stand-alone Boys & Girls Club, which serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier says the Forsyth campaign is designed to support 300 youth in a new 21,000-square-foot facility built for after-school programming until 6 p.m. and all-day summer care. Planned features include a teaching kitchen, dedicated teen center and gymnasium, along with outdoor playgrounds, multi-purpose fields and walking trails. The organization says the club sits close to Forsyth County Title I schools, including Chattahoochee Elementary, Chestatee Elementary, Cumming Elementary, Little Mill Middle and Otwell Middle, with additional feeder schools listed as Coal Mountain, Pools Mill, Matt, Silver City, Kelly Mill, Sawnee and Whitlow elementary schools.
The Bagwell club is the first and only Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier location in Cumming and the group’s first stand-alone club in Forsyth County. The club’s role carries added weight because the network has served North Georgia youth since 1954, when it began as the Gainesville-Hall County Boys Club. Today, Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier says it operates 11 school sites, 3 club locations and 1 community impact program, serving about 6,000 youth and teens ages 6 to 18 through work centered on academic success, character and citizenship, and healthy lifestyles.
The car rally also fit into a broader fundraising push around the Forsyth club. Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier held a first annual Club Crawl at Cumming City Center in March 2025 to benefit the Bagwell club and has promoted a Great Futures Dinner featuring Tommy and Chantal Bagwell and Herschel Walker to support the same effort. The club’s registration page lists Devon Holmes as unit director at 2150 Antioch Road, tying the fundraising directly to the day-to-day operation of the site.
