Event organizer, Carrie Aronson, created the show in honor of her daughter, Brittany, who she lost to suicide at the age of 14. From the time Brittany was 8 years old, she would look out their home window in awe of the neighbor’s blue Thunderbird and longed to own the car one day. To celebrate Carrie’s 50th birthday, her husband, Phil, gifted Carrie with the blue Thunderbird that she proudly drives today and named “the Blue Angel” knowing her daughter is sitting right by her side.
"We are thrilled to once again host the Fourth Annual AFSP Blue Angel Car Show at Sunrise Mall. Urban Edge Properties is proud to be part of an event that brings the community together and contributes to such a meaningful cause,” said Patricia Zafferese, Vice President Specialty Leasing, Urban Edge Properties.
