Cars & Couture returns for 14th annual gala benefiting autism support foundation

Jo-Lynn Brown January 28, 2025

The 14th annual Cars & Couture Collector’s Gala is scheduled for Feb. 8, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Motor Enclave.

Hosted by entrepreneur Nick Friedman, this year’s gala will feature a lineup of rare and exotic vehicles, live entertainment from the Bay Kings Band, and a fashion showcase, from designers Pamela Roehm and Jacka Saldena.

Tampa’s Friedman is co-founder and owner of College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving and Trash Butler.

Guests will walk the red carpet into the Motor Enclave’s 4,000-square-foot venue, complete with views of its 1.72-mile racetrack. VIP ticket holders will enjoy exclusive access to the second-floor lounge, featuring an open bar, dinner service and a private balcony overlooking the pit lane.

Proceeds from the gala’s charity auction will support the Jacob’s Touch Foundation, a Tampa-based nonprofit that provides financial assistance and resources to families with children on the autism spectrum.

“Cars & Couture is more than just a celebration of style and speed—it’s about making a real impact in the community,” said Friedman.

Tickets and sponsorship opportunities for the black-tie gala are available now at www.carscouture.com.
