JCAMSF CAR SHOW

John Cambra Ag/Mechanics Scholarship Fund

A little history about the man who loved cars....

John Cambra had a passion for all things mechanical.  Starting at a very early age on his parent's farm in central California, he tinkered with tractor and pickup motors, built "rabbit chasers" from spare parts, and spent countless hours piloting his home-crafted hydroplane on the local river.

The flexibility of farming gave John the opportunity to explore mechanics at an in-depth level.  As he developed his skills into a commercial success, he looked for a way to support and encourage youngsters with the same passion for mechanics.   The result is the John Cambra Agriculture/Mechanics Scholarship Fund.

John's cars are always displayed at the annual August Scholarship Car Show Fundraiser.  Below are pictures of three of his treasures.

As many of you are aware, John lost his valiant fight against Multiple Systems Atrophy (MSA) on May 19, 2010.  Knowing John's long-time wish to support aspiring ag/mechanics students, the family will continue to hold the annual August car show to provide scholarship funding.
