The Hot Rods for Heroes Cruise isn’t just another car cruise — it’s part of Heroes Weekend at Sandbox KC, honoring Kansas City’s fallen first responders and raising funds for SAFE (Surviving Spouse and Family Endowment Fund).
🗓 Sunday, Sept 28 • 10 AM – 2 PM
📍 Sandbox KC & Power Play Parking Lot
509 NW Barry Rd, Kansas City, MO 65155
Why We Cruise ❤️💙
Kansas City has faced heartbreaking losses this year:
❤️ KCFD Paramedic Graham Hoffman – EOW 4/27/25
💙 Wyandotte Co. Sheriff Deputy Elijah Ming – EOW 7/26/25
💙 KCKPD Officer Hunter Simoncic – EOW 8/26/25
When tragedy strikes, SAFE steps in — delivering a $40,000 check within 48 hours and continued support so no family faces it alone. Every car, every $5 donation helps keep this mission alive.
What to Expect:
- $5 Donation Request per vehicle goes directly to SAFE
- Park & Show Only – no awards, just community and cars
- All Makes & Models Welcome - if you've got wheels, you're in!
- Hungry? Amazing brunch specials inside Sandbox 10 AM–1 PM
- 50/50 Pot Raffle – must be present to win
- Character Drawings and other fun stuff for the kids
- Stay tuned for more exciting details!
Yeah, we know there is a KC Chiefs Game at 3:25 – stick around and watch with us!
This event honors our fallen heroes while ensuring SAFE can be there for the next family in need — because sadly, it’s not a matter of if, but when.
Come show your ride. Come show your support.
Come show our heroes they’ll never be forgotten. 🚓🚒🚑
