Petra Cares Gala Helps Foster Care Youth Discover Industry Career Paths

Petra Cares provides the tools, training and support to build meaningful automotive careers and futures.

The Petra Cares Gala, scheduled for Friday, April 10, 2026 has only a few tables still available. Every year, thousands of young people age out of foster care and are left with nowhere to live and have limited skills to support themselves.

Eighty percent of these young people will find themselves homeless, incarcerated or dead within a few years. Petra Cares was formed to provide a better path. Petra Cares provides the tools, training and support to build meaningful powersports and automotive careers and futures filled with dignity and purpose.

Since 2023, Petra Cares has had 148 students go through its program and seen a 72% graduation and 78% job placement rate.

Your sponsorship or table purchase is more than a seat at a beautiful event – it is an investment in a life. It is the difference between a young person feeling abandoned and one who discovers their worth and potential. Together, we can rewrite stories of despair into narratives of hope and success.

Multiple sponsorship opportunities and table packages are available. For more info, contact Brian Meza, Executive Director at [email protected]
