Cruisin' 53 is a joint effort by the Warren Community Foundation and the Center Line Independence Festival Foundation. 

 

Warren Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to promoting the welfare of the City of Warren by coordinating, marketing and implementing events to raise money donated to charitable and educational organizations doing good works. Past causes include homelessness, opioid addiction, special needs inclusion and animal care, amongst others. Cruisin' 53 is a rare cruise in that 100% of the funds generated after costs are given back to the community.

 

The Center Line Independence Festival Foundation celebrates 80 years of traditional small town lifestyle in the city of Center Line. Through coordination with the city, each summer they put on a three day festival and acts in partnership with Cruisin' 53 which takes place on the Sunday of the festival.
