Clearwater Capital Foundation’s 5th Annual Supercar Show Drives Record Impact in Hoffman Estates

Hoffman Estates, Illinois — The roar of engines and the spirit of generosity filled the air as Clearwater Capital Foundation celebrated its 5th Annual Charity Supercar Show on Saturday, June 21. This year’s event marked a milestone of community, passion, and purpose, drawing over 1,200 guests and showcasing more than 265 of the world’s most sought-after luxury and exotic vehicles.

A Celebration of Purpose and Passion

Born from a desire to inspire generosity even in uncertain times, the Supercar Show has become a signature event for Clearwater Capital Foundation. “It was a light bulb moment for me,” recalls James Chapman, Chairman of the Charity Supercar Show. “I’ve attended Chicagoland car events my entire life, and I always dreamed of hosting one. To see that dream become a force for good is truly special.”

The event, now in its fifth year, is more than a spectacle of automotive excellence; it’s a testament to the power of community. Families, car enthusiasts, and philanthropists gathered at Clearwater Capital’s Hoffman Estates headquarters to marvel at Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Ford GTs, McLarens, Rimac Nevera, and more, all while supporting three vital local charities.

Driving Real Change

The Supercar Show is fully underwritten by Clearwater Capital Foundation, ensuring that 100% of proceeds go directly to three impactful organizations: Fellowship Housing, empowering single mothers to achieve financial independence; A Giving Heart Foundation, advancing life-saving pediatric heart technology; and The Bridge Youth & Family Services, helping children and families overcome trauma.

Since the show’s inception, the event has raised just under $300,000 for its three beneficiary recipients. “Our mission has always been about combining passion with purpose,” said Chapman. “To see such strong community support and hit our fundraising goal on the show’s fifth anniversary is an incredible testament to what’s possible when people come together for a cause.”

An Unforgettable Experience

Despite the sweltering summer heat, spirits remained high as families, car enthusiasts, and philanthropists gathered at Clearwater’s Hoffman Estates headquarters. Beyond the supercars, the event offered something for everyone. Highlights included an impromptu pickleball court, a live auction for two luxury trips, a DJ aboard a boat, and incredible raffle items. The atmosphere was electric, with guests enjoying the sensory feast of gleaming exotics, high-octane fuel, and the camaraderie of other fellow enthusiasts, all under the bright, hot sun of a Midwest summer.
