In 2010, the Righteous Rodders Motor Club saw an opportunity to become involved in a national campaign to bring public awareness to a rare genetic disorder: Williams Syndrome. Having a club member that has 2 children with the disorder, the Rodders had personal motivation for wanting to do all they could to help the WSA with their national campaign. Out of this, "Wheels for Williams" was born. The first show was held on May 15, 2010 and brought in 65 vehicles. Live music was provided by D.A. Studios (Greenville, Ohio) in the form of two bands: a KISS tribute band called KIDS (made up of middle school aged children) and an alternative band called Right Way to Nowhere. Before, after, and in between sets, the music kept spinnin' with the magic of DJ CWB.

In 2011, The Righteous Rodders Motor Club "took it to the beach" as they hosted the 2nd Annual "Wheels for Williams" on May 14th.
"The Easy Leis" rocked the event with their brand of vintage surf guitar music!
