FOUNDERS’ GARDEN
The BMW CCA Foundation is proud to launch our Founders’ Garden. Conveniently located beside our Museum, this Garden serves as a unique place to honor special persons for their achievements or to memorialize those whom we have lost in our lives.
This Garden will provide our donors and visitors the opportunity to wander through the Garden and appreciate its natural beauty– all while supporting the charitable and philanthropic work of the Foundation.
This Garden provides an opportunity to honor a living person (tribute gift) or mark the death of a deceased loved one (memorial gift). You have wide freedom to select the person and they need not be part of the BMW CCA community to be honored.
Here are some examples, but not limited to:
- Honoring a chapter officer who is retiring;
- Memorializing a dear friend who is now departed;
- Honoring a close friend on their special birthday/anniversary;
- Celebrating the birth of a grandchild; or
- Showing appreciation to an organization or meaningful person
If you prefer, you may make a gift towards the Garden General Fund for upkeep and maintenance—with no need to make any choices—to help the Founders’ Garden thrive in the future.
The Foundation is committed, along with its generous donors and sponsors, to teaching teens to becoming safer drivers through its Tire Rack Street Survival Program. Trained coaches volunteer their time to put teens through real-life driving exercises to enable them to handle dangerous driving situations.
Our Museum, {“The Ultimate Driving Museum”} founded in 2017 enables the Foundation to “bring our BMW Archives to life” by sharing them with our fellow enthusiasts. Our Museum exhibits showcase our passion for BMW history, design, and technology throughout the ages with our displays of cars and motorcycles.

One unique way to support the Foundation and its mission is to purchase a personalized brick. You choose the message — many have inscribed their name and their favorite BMW — and we will put it in the Garden to form a new walkway or patio. Your gift will become part of the foundation of the Foundation. It’s a cool way to show your support for your favorite marque! For a donation of $250 you will choose the names and logo on the brick. You may use the logos of the Foundation, Tire Rack Street Survival, the BMW CCA, or even The Ultimate Driving Museum. Just click HERE for the Brick Program form and we will do the rest! -
