Kevin Smith spent his career as one of the automotive industry's most beloved PR voices — repping Saab, Lotus, Cadillac, and Genesis, and earning friends everywhere he went. In 2018, Kevin was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's. Drive Toward a Cure connected him with Emory University's Parkinson's Foundation Center of Excellence, and our community rallied around him through the "Everyone Needs a Kevin" campaign and our Special Assistance Fund.
Kevin passed away peacefully on November 11, 2025. This drive keeps his memory — and his love of cars — on the road, while raising funds for others facing the same fight.
Join us on the morning of November 14, 2026 as we gather at Ride Lounge in Peachtree Corners for an exclusive exploration of the cars that inhabit the space before departing for an exhilarating drive that will lead us to Wolf Mountain Winery! On our arrival, we'll be given a guided tour of the wondering private car collection followed by wine tastings, appetizers and flatbreads for lunch, and renowned Southern hospitality. The cost is $350 per car - 1 driver and passenger - that rewards you with a $250 tax-deductible receipt.
