COVINGTON, Ga. - The ninth annual Covington Car Show, hosted by Dualdeko Marketing will be held on the Historic Covington Square Sunday, Sept. 15. All proceeds from this year's car show will benefit Matt Cooper, the Covington Police Department officer who was injured in the line of duty on Labor Day 2018, and his family.
The date of Sept. 15 was chosen by Cooper because the date is one year and one week from the day he was shot, which he named his "Life Anniversary."
"This year's car show is to honor Matt's heroism, bravery and sacrifice in service to our community," Lanier Sims, founder and CEO of Dualdeko Marketing, a full-service marketing company for small businesses, said.
The Covington Car Show is currently looking for sponsors for this year's show, which is "all about coming together as a community, supporting each other and showcasing what we can do when we stand as one," Sims said.
