Honoring Jon R.'s Love for Sharks all Month Long!
💙🦈
July 2025
During the month of July, we placed ocean-themed car packs out in the wild!
We wanted to celebrate Shark Week in honor of my son, Jon R., who absolutely loved sharks. He knew the names of so many different shark species, always wanted to wear his shark outfits, and loved all his shark toys — he would take them with him wherever he went.
His excitement was contagious. His face would light up every time he got to share his shark facts or show off his collection. You couldn't help but smile seeing the pure joy he had while he was sharing his love of sharks with others.
Through Jon’s Garage, we’re continuing to share that same love, excitement and joy with others, just as Jon would have.
Fundraiser for Sharks 4 Kids
We teamed up with Sharks4Kids to raise funds for their Project Lemon Aid—supporting the conservation of Lemon sharks at sites around the Turks and Caicos Islands!
Jon had a deep love for sharks. He loved to read his big shark book and name all the sharks in it, and always brought his shark toys with him anywhere he went. We’re running this fundraiser in the hopes of honoring his passion by helping others—especially kids—learn to love and protect sharks.
Thank you to everyone who donated to our fundraiser! Thanks to your contributions, we were able to ‘adopt’ a baby lemon shark in Jon’s honor. We chose to name the shark Bon because Jon’s cousins, and best friends, lovingly called him Bon 💙🦈

We did our first ever giveaway in honor of Shark Week and Jon R.’s love for sharks!
We partnered with Fahlo and gifted 5 lucky winners a special Fahlo shark-tracking bracelet that lets you follow the journey of a real shark! Each winner also received 2 Shark Week exclusive car packs from Jon’s Garage, created to support our nonprofit’s mission!
Shark Week Giveaway!
Ponies & Snakes Car Show
June 2025
We attended our first in-person event, the annual Ponies and Snakes car show in Danville! The turnout was incredible, there were so many cool cars to see, and an awesome crowd of fellow car lovers!
A huge thank you to the Bay Area Mustang Association (BAMA) for welcoming us to your amazing event and giving us the opportunity to hand out 100 Jon’s Garage car packs to attendees!
My family and I first attended Ponies and Snakes in 2023, when BAMA graciously invited us to present the Las Positas Automotive Technology Program Award in memory of my brother, Jon L., honoring his legacy in a community he loved. It was a very touching moment that we will never forget. To be back again this year honoring both my brother and my son, Jon R., alongside such a supportive organization, means more than we can express.
Our Wheels in the Wild car packs featured event-exclusive info cards with the Ponies and Snakes & BAMA logos!
