Cruisin’ For A Cure is the largest single-day charity car show in the country. The annual show is held at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, California.
The event is held every year in September, “National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month”. The primary mission of this event is to fund prostate cancer research and provide free prostate cancer screenings.

CFAC show cars travel thoughout the cruise route and are also on static display.
In addition to the primary significance of providing free testing for prostate cancer, the event is an absolute blast.
Of course, the primary mission of this event is to fund prostate cancer research and provide free prostate cancer screenings. Car owners that display and cruise the show allow the public and participants to enjoy a day of fun and the opportunity to receive a free and potentially lifesaving prostate exam (DRE) and PSA blood test.
With the help of sponsors and participants, Cruisin’ For A Cure continues to spread the word on how important prostate cancer screening is by providing vital information on how it can be treated, and how easy it is to save you and the men in your life.
Cars, trucks, vans, classics and hot rods cover every inch of the OC Event Center inside and out.

On site this year was a special car show within a car show – The Women ‘n Wheels Expo – an all-girl run event featuring local car gals.
They participated by laying out the parking spaces and parking all the cars. In 2019 we had 35 gals participate . This year it was increased to 60 parking spaces in the building. All parking spots were filled!
The organization also had their own Women ‘n Wheels awards that included Karen Meguiar.
The five female judges included Karen Meguiar.
Ant Anstead even stopped by to see all the gals.
