The First State Corvette Club set a new record in its continued support of the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition donation. This support would not be possible without the participation of a varied group of automotive enthusiasts who brought their rides to the club's annual show at The Pizzadili Vineyard and Winery. On behalf of the Coalition, we extend our thanks and appreciation to each of you!
Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition Program Manager, Stephanie Cumella said, "Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition (DBCC) had the honor and privilege to attend and be the beneficiary to the First State Corvette Club Wheels and Wine Open car Show on September 14, 2024. A whopping $6,271.23 was donated to DBCC. Additionally, $500 was donated directly to DBCC by a sponsor. On behalf of DBCC, thank you for your unwavering dedication to our cause. Your support empowers us to continue providing vital resources to the 2530 breast cancer survivors we supported last year and support for those in our home state who will face a diagnosis in their future. Your generosity and support of DBCC directly translates to helping to ensure parents are present at their children's birthdays, giving families more precious time together at holidays and keeping our communities whole. Together, we are making a difference. Thank you!"

Welcome to our web site!
Members of The First State Corvette Club look forward to our 2024 open car show on September 14 with a rain date September 15. Once again we are happy to announce the venue will be The Pizzadili Vineyard and Winery, located at 1683 Peach Basket Rd., Felton Delaware. Last year we awarded 40 trophies. This year we plan 50 awards with four classes: Corvette, Street Stock, Modified, and Restored. Registration begins at 9AM and closes at 12PM. First State Corvette members’ vehicles will not be judged but we invite attendees to take time to view our Corvettes on display. We will have a 50-50, DJ, door prizes, gift baskets, an auction, vendors, and food. Pre-registration is $15 and $20 on the day of show. Proceeds will benefit the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition. Watch this web site for the car show flyer and pre-registration form, coming soon.
Our club members are very involved with charitable organizations such as “Adopt a Highway”, The Ronald McDonald House, Polytech scholarship programs, the Delaware Food Bank and The Home of the Brave. We participate in local homecoming and community parades. If you want to join a great group of people, this is the club for you!

Veteran residents of the Delaware Veterans Home in Milford, Delaware were, again treated to a parade of Corvettes as club members drove by. Judging by the smiles and waves from the residents, the parade was a success. Members brought a small trailer full of snacks and goodies for the residents' enjoyment.

FSCC Expresses our gratitude to all those who participated and we expect to visit our veterans again!

Members of The Beachcomber Corvette Club, Easternshore Corvette Club (Shorevette's) and First State Corvette Club traveled to Concord, NC to visit the Hendrick's Performance Center. Afterwards, we traveled to the Childress Winery in Lexington NC for a late lunch /early dinner. The next morning we went on a tour of the Charlotte Motor Speedway and Track. It was a fantastic experience and we then went our separate ways. Plans are made for this very worthwhile trip in 2024!

On October 2, 2023 members of FSCC, once again, worked to beautify Apple Grove School Road for the Adopt A Highway cleanup campaign! Said Elaine Straughn, “We had a beautiful day on a lovely road that did not have too much trash to collect. It was a nice walk followed by a nice breakfast outing.”
