Our Mission
It is the purpose and desire of the Pharaohs Street Rodders to provide a social organization for those interested in the promotion and development of Hot Rod, classic, antique and special interest vehicles in the Portland / Vancouver area. During the warm summer days we promote Hot Rod Cruises at local area businesses to gain funds to support our Club missions which are the MIAP (Missing in America Project), Prostate Cancer research, and Breast Cancer Research. See more about our missions inside. If you enjoy old cars and would like to be part of a growing car club we would like to have you join our group.
The Missing in America Project
Not many are aware of our main mission: The Missing in America Project http://www.miap.us .
Our goal is to locate, identify and inter the unclaimed cremains of American veterans from wars as far back as WWI. Those with no family members need a honorable burial. The Missing in America Project was launched nationwide in January, 2007.
On May 21, 2009, the Missing In America Funeral Escort Team and other riders left Sacramento California on a mission to escort the remains of Johnnie Franklin Callahan, James William Dunn and Isaiah Mays to their final resting place at Arlington National Cemetery. The services took place at Arlington on May 29, 2009.
Veterans with no family need proper and honorable burial.
