Ohio Cobra Club

Ohio Cobra Club

In 2001, a small group of fun loving and benevolent car enthusiasts, each with a cult-like passion for the Shelby Cobra, and a desire to help sick kids, joined together to form the Ohio Cobra Club (OCC).

The purpose of the club is to promulgate admiration for the Shelby Cobra sportscars, regardless of manufacturer or type; to support the City of London with the London Cobra Show, and to support and raise money for The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. In an effort to assist with the CFF fundraising part of the mission, in 2006, the club attained 501(c)(3) non-profit status from the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) as a nonprofit charitable organization – EIN #20-2462827. The club is also registered with the State of Ohio as The Ohio Cobra Club, Inc.

About the club

Throughout the year the club organizes social events such as club meetings, parties, dinners, cruises through various scenic areas in Ohio, as well as helping other club members with their Cobras.

Each year, the club sponsors the London Cobra Show, where a beautiful Cobra replica is given away as a sweepstakes grand prize as the club's main CFF fundraiser. Sweepstakes chances are $20 each and can be purchased online and at car shows. The net proceeds from the London Cobra Show are donated to CFF for research into finding a cure for cystic fibrosis.

London Cobra Show

The Ohio Cobra Club has hosted the London Cobra Show since 2005. Although the show itself is called the London Cobra Show, or simply LCS, most of the events take place in Dublin, Ohio due to the lack of lodging in London. The show is always held in June, the weekend after Father’s Day. The main portion of the show takes place Saturday on Main Street in London.

LCS is a combination car show, social event and a charity fundraiser. Show attendees and visitors have the opportunity to view hundreds of beautifully crafted Cobras, purchase LCS sweepstakes tickets, t-shirts and other memorabilia.

Each year, representatives of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation receive the donation, and the winning sweepstakes ticket is drawn during the Saturday evening Grand Gala.

Over the years, the London Cobra Show has allowed The Ohio Cobra Club to donate over Two Million Seven Hundred and Seventy Thousand Dollars ($2,770,000.00) to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
