2022 Vettes for Vets - 10th Anniversary

Thank you from Lafayette & Star City Corvette Clubs

May 7th, 125 corvettes streamed into the Tippecanoe Amphitheater in West Lafayette to show support for our veterans.  

Over $11,000 and several carts of supplies were donated to the Indiana Veteran's Home. We had two successful raffles, funds from the patriotic quilt were donated to IVH and funds from the framed stained glass panel benefited Mary T. Klinker, a local veteran's group.  New and previously attending clubs joined in, drivers from the visiting corvette clubs were given a commemorative 10th anniversary hat pin. A parking lot lunch was enjoyed, friendships renewed over mutual interests of corvettes and patriotism. Residents of the Veteran's Home celebrated with a cookout. Then corvettes caravanned and reassembled at the IVH.  


A special thank you to our event sponsor, Christi Hubler Chevrolet in Crawfordsville.


Thank you to those that shared their pictures.  More photos are on our Flickr site. Click Here.

OUR "VETTES FOR VETS"PROGRAM..an important part of our club

Vettes for Vets - Successful 2021

Indiana Veterans Home (IVH) benefits from Vettes for Vets Event 2021. Eleven Corvette clubs and independents from Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Missouri were excited to get back on the road with their donations to the 9th annual event in West Lafayette. As pandemic’s restrictions eased, the car show and presentations were back on the schedule. 

Star City Corvettes of Lafayette and Lafayette Corvette Club staged the visiting clubs at the Tippecanoe Amphitheater which included free hot dogs, chips and water from our sponsor, Christi Hubler Chevrolet of Crawfordsville. 

U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps provided the honor guard for the presentation of the wreath, and two volunteers from the IN Army/National Guard led the visiting clubs over to the Indiana Veterans Home.  Over $11,000.00 was donated as well as donations of goods. Two spontaneous donations stood out. A local business owner driving by handed $500 cash to our volunteer and a boy on his bike riding by the Amphitheater. At the entrance he talked with Bob Devault's family, asked what was going on? could anyone donate? Then he took the $20 he had in his pocket and asked if it would be ok to give that? There is no selfie, no Facebook post, we don’t know either donor's name or any details about them - just the knowledge of a young man & business man who understood how important it is to REMEMBER OUR VETERANS. 

We are very thankful for all that attended and their continuing generosity.

Regional Corvette Clubs

We get tremendous participation from Corvette owners supporting veterans as well as enthusiasts and social clubs from all over Indiana and neighboring states in the Vettes for Vets program.

Supporting our Veterans

Much of the funds that we raise throughout the year goes toward the Vettes for Vets program. 

Our May Event in Lafayette

We have had as many as 200+ Corvettes and Corvette owners supporting veterans at our annual May "Vettes for Vets" event in Lafayette

Our Veterans

During our Vettes for Vets event, the enjoyment that the Veterans receive from seeing the cars, talking to the owners and the donations that are derived from the event is immeasurable. 

Other "Vettes for Vets" Events

In addition to our annual May event, we travel all over the state to other club's Veterans events as well as to surrounding states including Iowa, Illinois, Michigan and other areas.
