RIVERSIDE, CA--- Local college students and Inland Empire car enthusiasts turned a shared passion for automotive culture into tan- gible support for rising Riverside racing talent Truly Adams, raising $5,000 during a Cars N' Coffee fundraiser held at Cable Airport.

Hosted by Cars N' Coffee Riverside and 7SunsCollective, the event was organized by Johnny Silva and Natalie Trujillo, two local college students active in the Inland Empire car community. Silva is a civil engineering major at Cal Poly Pomona, and Trujillo is pursuing business marketing. Together, they set out to BYU

That vision came to life on December 20, when the Cars N' Coffee event featured 25 show cars, local vendors, helicopter tours, awards, and family-friendly activities, draw- ing over 200 attendees. The welcoming atmo- sphere reflected the community's shared goal: supporting a young Inland Empire athlete as he advances his Formula 4 racing career.
