💜 Honoring a Cause Close to Home 💜

Every year, 100% of the vehicle entry fees from the Rods N Rock Car Show go directly to supporting the Carson community—specifically our local school and rural fire department.

This year, our 17th Annual Show is adding a special layer of impact. We are proudly dedicating the 2026 show to Alzheimer’s Awareness in loving memory of our crew member Andy's aunt, who passed away earlier this year from early-onset Alzheimer’s.

How You Can Help at the Show:
Whether you are bringing a vehicle or coming as a spectator, you can help us turn Carson purple:

• Car Entrants: Your standard registration is $10 (supporting the school & fire dept). At registration, you can add a $5 Purple Tribute Pinwheel to display proudly in front of your vehicle.

• Spectators & Guests: Visit our registration table to purchase a Tribute Pinwheel for $5 to place in our central Garden of Hope. 

The Personal Touch: Every pinwheel comes with an index card where you can write the name of a loved one (In Honor or In Memory), then clip it directly to the stick. Driver pinwheels will be displayed in front of vehicles, and spectator pinwheels will be planted in our "garden" right by the registration desk for all to see. 

100% of all pinwheel proceeds will go directly to a regional Alzheimer's memory care center to purchase enrichment and activity items for residents currently battling the disease.
