Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser

The annual Installation Banquet serves as the venue where we thank our association's outgoing board members and welcome those who have been newly elected. It is also the setting in which we announce the newest selections for the SEMA Hall of Fame whose inductees represent not only our industry's history but also its members' dedication, service and devotion to their businesses.

Proceeds from the Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser and the Pinewood Drag Races will be contributed to two organizations that have become favorites of the SEMA Cares Committee. The first, Childhelp, aids victims of child abuse and originally began receiving support from wheel manufacturers in 1994. It now garners significant contributions from a wide range of industry businesses under the auspices of Childhelp. The more recently established organization, the Victory Junction Camp, was founded in 2004 by Kyle and Pattie Petty in honor of their son Adam and has received support from the Light-Truck Accessory Alliance and others in the industry. Victory Junction uses camping experiences in its racing-themed facilities to enrich the lives of children who suffer from chronic medical conditions or illnesses.
