As the weather warms up, so does the momentum behind Solomon’s Strength Foundation. This time of year marks more than just the return of car show season—it signals the start of something much bigger. Behind the scenes, we are hard at work preparing for our 3rd Annual Cruise-In for a Cause, and every detail is driven by one clear mission: helping families access life-changing service dogs.
Why This Year Matters Even More
This year, our focus is sharper than ever. We are actively building our service dog scholarship program, working toward providing highly trained service dogs to individuals with autism, Fragile X Syndrome, and other developmental disabilities.
A fully trained service dog can cost up to $30,000. For many families, that number puts this kind of support out of reach. That’s where our foundation steps in.
Every registration, every sponsor, every vendor booth, and every donation from the Cruise-In helps move us closer to placing a service dog with a child or individual who truly needs one.
What We’re Working On Right Now
Preparation is in full swing, and there’s a lot happening behind the scenes:
Finalizing event logistics for a smooth and family-friendly experience
Securing sponsors and community partners
Expanding vendor and participant registration
Designing event shirts, awards, and signage
Building out our service dog scholarship process and criteria
This isn’t just event planning—it’s infrastructure for impact.
More Than a Car Show
The Cruise-In is more than a lineup of incredible vehicles—it’s a day where community meets purpose.
It’s where:
Families connect
Awareness grows
Support turns into real, tangible outcomes
For the families we serve, a service dog can mean increased independence, improved safety, emotional regulation, and a greater ability to engage with the world around them.
How You Can Be Part of It
Whether you’re bringing a car, setting up a booth, sponsoring, or simply attending, you are part of something meaningful.
If you joined us last year, we invite you to come back and be part of what’s growing. If this is your first time, we’d love to welcome you in.

And we’re just getting started.
