- Apr 6, 2026School Board · item 1.06Thank You to Mr. Jeff Greenfield
[1.06] The Labor Day Car Show, associated with Jeff Greenfield, was recognized for donating $5,000 to support school food pantries, providing each school with $1,250 to buy food for students in need.
In full
The event has a notable charitable dimension: over seven years, it has provided thousands of backpacks filled with school supplies to city schools, and most recently donated $5,000 to school food pantries ($1,250 per school), recognized by the School Board at its April 6, 2026 meeting. The event is one of eight third-party events currently supported by the City of Fairfax, five of which involve road closures, and was listed among those reviewed during the City Council's April 7, 2026 work session on third-party event sponsorships. At that session, the Council favored a hybrid of options 2 and 3 for its broader sponsorship approach and directed staff to return with a follow-up at a future Council meeting; no formal vote was taken.
An earlier transcript excerpt from April 1, 2025 references the Labor Day Car Show as one of several smaller events whose city support had been eliminated in a prior cost-reduction review. The event appears to have taken place successfully on Labor Day 2026 (September 7), with a council member offering congratulations at what appears to be a subsequent meeting on September 8, 2026.
