The San Diego Automotive Museum hosted a Shifting Gears Rally with the starting point at the new IGNITE Academy in Santee. Supporters had the first opportunity to see the new campus where the students get hands-on technical training in the automotive industry and mentorship to create pathways to high paying, in demand jobs. Funds raised from the Rally support the Museum and IGNITE.
