Darin Wilson Highlights the Celebrity Pinewood Derby on Paula Sands Live

Darin Wilson of Pack 203 appeared on Paula Sands Live to share details about the upcoming Celebrity Pinewood Derby auction, an annual community event that brings together local personalities, Scouting supporters, and families for a meaningful cause.

The Celebrity Pinewood Derby is organized by Troop 199 with the support of the 97X Dwyer & Michaels Morning Show. Each year, the event combines the fun and creativity of traditional Pinewood Derby racing with the excitement of a celebrity auction.

During his appearance on Paula Sands Live, Darin helped raise awareness for the event and the important mission behind it. More than a race, the Celebrity Pinewood Derby is an opportunity for the Quad Cities community to come together and help make Scouting programs more accessible to young people.

Every car, donation, bid, and act of support helps strengthen the opportunities available to local youth through the Boy Scouts of America Scoutreach Program.

A Fun Event with a Meaningful Purpose

Pinewood Derby racing has long been a memorable part of the Scouting experience. It encourages creativity, planning, problem-solving, friendly competition, and time spent working together.

The Celebrity Pinewood Derby builds on that tradition by inviting familiar local personalities and community supporters to participate. The result is a lighthearted event that creates lasting memories while supporting an important local cause.

What the Event Supports

Greater access to Scouting opportunities for local youth.
Programs that encourage leadership, teamwork, service, and responsibility.
Activities that help young people build confidence and practical life skills.
Community-based support through the Boy Scouts of America Scoutreach Program.

Supporting the Scoutreach Program

All proceeds from the Celebrity Pinewood Derby benefit the Boy Scouts of America Scoutreach Program. Scoutreach helps bring the benefits of Scouting to young people who may otherwise have limited access to traditional programs and resources.

Through community support, Scoutreach can help more children experience outdoor activities, mentoring, leadership development, service projects, and the sense of belonging that comes from being part of a Scout unit.

Events like the Celebrity Pinewood Derby make that work possible by turning a familiar Scouting tradition into an opportunity to give back.

Community Partnerships Make It Possible

Troop 199, Pack 203, the Dwyer & Michaels Morning Show, local media, event participants, donors, and volunteers all play a role in making the Celebrity Pinewood Derby successful.

Darin Wilson’s appearance on Paula Sands Live helped share that story with a wider audience and reminded viewers that a fun community event can also create meaningful opportunities for young people throughout the region.

Racing for a Stronger Future

The Celebrity Pinewood Derby celebrates creativity, friendly competition, and community spirit, but its greatest impact is measured by the young people it helps.

Every bid helps move Scouting forward and gives more children the opportunity to learn, grow, and lead.
