About
Us The
Cruisers of South Florida was formed to bring together those who love custom and
specialty cars. Although primarily made up of PT Cruisers, we welcome members
who just want to have fun and belong to a club run by its members. But in addition,
it gives us the opportunity to give back to our local community in the form of
donations to Charities. Each month, a charity is selected by the members and we
collectively decide how and to what extent we can help. A monetary fund is set
aside within the club treasury for the disbursement of money as voted by the members.
