Glenwood Place Senior Living Hosts 9th Annual Cruise for a Cause Benefiting the Alzheimer's Association

Marshalltown, Iowa – June 18, 2026 – Glenwood Place Senior Living invites the community to attend its 9th Annual Cruise for a Cause Classic Car Show on Thursday, June 18, 2026. This free community event brings together classic car enthusiasts, local residents, and supporters for an evening of fun, entertainment, and philanthropy—all benefiting the Alzheimer's Association.

Cruise for a Cause holds a special meaning for the Glenwood Place team and residents.

"Supporting the Alzheimer's Association is something near and dear to our hearts here at Glenwood Place Senior Living," said Brooke Davis, Sales Coordinator and event organizer. "We see the effects of dementia every day. We want to do our part in helping fight against this disease while providing a fun night for the community to come together and enjoy."

The event is free and open to the public. There are no registration fees, and all classic vehicles are welcome to participate.

Funds for the Alzheimer's Association are raised through freewill donations in exchange for a classic summertime meal featuring hot dogs, cold drinks, and popcorn provided by Glenwood Place. Cash check, or digital payment is available at the event. Checks can be made out directly to Alzheimer's Association. Guests will also enjoy live entertainment from local rock band JJ Ace, creating a lively atmosphere for families and car enthusiasts alike.

Over the past eight years, Cruise for a Cause has raised an impressive $22,269 for the Alzheimer's Association. Additional funds have been contributed through golf outings, art shows, and other community events hosted by Glenwood Place, but Cruise for a Cause remains one of the organization's most beloved annual traditions.

"The community shows up year after year, and we are always overwhelmed with gratitude," Davis said. "This car show has become such a hit, and we are proud of the impact we've been able to make together."

A highlight of the evening is the presentation of the Best in Show Resident Choice Award, which is chosen by the current reigning King and Queen. The royal pair, elected each Valentine's Day through resident voting, have the honor of choosing the winning vehicles.

"It's a fun way to get our residents involved in the event and celebrate the vehicles that make this show so special," Davis added.

Community members are encouraged to bring their families, enjoy the entertainment, admire an array of classic vehicles, and support the fight against Alzheimer's disease.

The Glenwood Place parking lot is reserved for classic vehicles only. All general public attendees are asked to park next door at Our Savior Lutheran Church or across the street in the Carson Dr. neighborhood.
