The car show originated to garner support, toys and awareness about the free holiday party, which has become a South Tucson tradition over the last 50-plus years.
Loni Nannini Special to the Arizona Daily Star The second annual Ramon’s Miracle on 31st Street Car Show will take place Saturday to accept gifts for a popular holiday event later in December.
Started by Ramon Gonzalez, a local sheet-metal worker who died in 2020 due to complications from COVID-19, the party has provided holiday toys, food and fun for generations of children and their families. Each year, the event gifts as many as 10,000 toys to children in need and Ramon’s family and friends have continued the tradition in his honor.
Manuel said that there have been very few toy donations this year and the family is requesting help from the public. They believe the car show provides an excellent opportunity for car enthusiasts and the entire community to become involved.
