VW Trends Alohoa Charity Cruise

By VW Trends Staff, VWT Staff

The 2003 VW Trends Aloha Charity Cruise has come and gone. If you missed it, you missed the best event we've had so far. We started at the Oakley Headquarters where they provided one of the coolest facilities you've ever seen. The building is something out of a movie. After our registration, all cruisers were rounded up for a beautiful cruise up the Orange County coastline to the Newport Dunes in Newport Beach. On this day, the sun was shining brighter than it had the previous week. I think it's all because of the charities we choose. This time, it was the Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County.

Check out some of the first pictures. Hopefully we got some of you. The complete editorial and pictures will be coming soon, so stay tuned. Until then enjoy and give special thanks to all our sponsors.
