This classic and custom car show and oldies rock festival benefits Gateway Center of Monterey County, Inc., a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization serving the needs of developmentally disabled adults throughout Monterey County.

The money raised helps Gateway Center to continue offering services that enhance and enrich the quality of life for their clients.
Gathered together, the board of directors of Monterey Rock & Rod is comprised of individuals who represent a diverse sector of Monterey County. Some are heavily involved in the local car club and car show scene while others are business owners and community leaders. All have come together for the same purpose, to help Gateway Center of Monterey County be able to continue its important work.
The car show and music festival provides everything you need to relax and enjoy yourselves. Vendors on-site offer food and drink choices as well as shopping opportunities.
FROM INFANCY TO THEIR GOLDEN YEARS, people with developmental disabilities deserve every opportunity to reach their fullest potential. Gateway Center of Monterey County, Inc. has led the way to fulfilling personal and occupational dreams for hundreds of people in Monterey County.
As our name implies, Gateway’s mission is to open a door of opportunity to everyone it serves. A 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, Gateway Center is a premiere provider of high quality services and training for persons with one or more disabilities that can include mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and autism. These conditions, of course limit the scope of their dreams. But with our assistance, most can live, work, and participate in their communities, with (or sometimes without) supervision. From an expansive residential facility and semi-independent group homes to professionally run day programs that teach life skills, Gateway Center guides its participants on a path toward independence and self sufficiency. We do so by recognizing the needs of each individual in a supportive group setting. All of us associated with Gateway Center embrace a common philosophy and code of values. Gateway Center makes it possible not only to make dreams come true, but to have dreams in the first place.
