The Calgary Shriners teamed up with muscle car lovers to collect gifts for sick children Sunday in northwest Calgary.

The Muscle Car Cruisers of Alberta showcased their rides in support of the Alberta Children’s Hospital at the Calgary Shrine Centre.

“We’ve got a beautiful car show in the beautiful sunny weather of Alberta,” said Evan Schmitke, the potentate (president) of Al Azhar Shriners Centre of Alberta.

He said the organization supports 22 Shriner’s Children Hospitals across North America, which provide free care to children.

Sunday’s event was to raise awareness and a few gifts for the kids at the Children’s Hospital.
