The event will feature a muscle car and hot rod show and shine, jumping castle, airbrush tattoos, barefoot bungee races, dragster slide, raffles, a 1pm lunch and a performance from rock band Overload.
The fundraiser is just one of many events organised by Steven’s parents Paul and Donna, since their son succumbed to the illness on March 1, 2014.
So far they have donated more than $15,000 to cystic fibrosis research.
The most recent event was a charity fun day at Hunter Valley Zoo in March this year.
“Steven was a great person – CF didn’t phase him, nothing got him down,” Mr Stevens told the Mercury earlier this year, speaking for the first time about his son’s death.
“He would go to hospital two to three times a year for two or three weeks at a time, battle an infection.
“Doctors would get him right, then he would come out and get on with his life.
“He did not blame anyone for his condition.”
Steven was a Woodberry Public School student and graduated year 12 at Francis Greenway High School.
Those wishing to attend the lunch at the Car Show need to RSVP by September 30 and pay the $20 before the day.
To RSVP phone Paul on 0438 665 941.
