Guy Moley thanks the Town of Saugus for its help in keeping his fundraising car shows going

By Joanie Allbee

 

Some people take the money and run, but not Guy Moley. When all has been said and done, Guy gratefully comes back to acknowledge Saugus after the fundraiser. He recently expressed his gratitude for the town allowing him to host his Mom’s Cancer Fighting Angels Car Shows.

Saugus saying “yes” to Moley’s endeavors has a history of being a catalyst to a greater happening. How does a sleepy July 13th weekend in the Saugus Middle-High School parking lot turn into a $4,000 money-making fundraiser? In addition to helping to fight cancer, it brought families and towns together for festivities.

When Fuddruckers closed its doors, Mom’s Cancer Fighting Angels were feeling down, with no place to relocate. It seemed like it was the end of the Car Shows. Saugus heard of the dilemma and stepped up to welcome Guy’s team. Blessed Sacrament offered its parking lot for “Touch a Truck” and the Saugus Middle-High School offered its grounds for future Car Shows. Guy’s team was filled with gratitude for Saugus saving the day for their Mom’s Cancer Fighting Angel’s Car Shows.

As for July’s Fundraiser, Guy knew the Town valued his endeavors, and he said, “When I drove over to the School and saw the entire place being landscaped, I had thought ‘wow they are really sprucing this place up for the show.’”

“It really hit me as to the faith Saugus had in me to host the event and represent the Town to all the people coming from all over,” Guy said.

After receiving approval for use of the school parking lot, Guy spent a considerable amount of time there planning the logistics. Guy’s wife Brenda, who is a Mom’s Cancer Fighting Angel, too, thought her husband had taken up residency at the parking lot.

Together, the Moley’s participate in many community activities and fundraisers. When December arrives, there’s The Winter Wonderland. Guy and Brenda also become Mr. and Mrs. Claus for Saugus, bringing holiday cheer to many town residents.

Many are touched through his creative achievements.

“I felt at the end of the day, my team and I have done our job and done it well. Making Saugus Proud and showing that it truly is some place special,” Guy said.

If a smiling Irene Comeau – Guy’s late mom who’s the reason for the fundraisers – peeked down from heaven, she would be proud of her son’s efforts to raise money to help fight cancer.
