The Santa Ynez Valley Community Outreach (SYVCO) proudly hosted the Fourth Annual Cars & Cowboys fundraiser on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at Rancho San Marcos Golf Course. The sunlit celebration brought together hundreds of guests for an unforgettable day of cars, music, Western elegance, and community spirit.
Guests were greeted by a dazzling display of more than $12 million worth of collector cars. With many showstoppers on the field — from rare classics to custom builds — the collection sparkled with craftsmanship and history, creating a breathtaking backdrop for the day’s festivities.
The day featured a gourmet menu prepared by Chef Daniel Millian, refreshing drinks, and lively entertainment. The air was filled with live music from Jonathan Firey and Bill Agin & Territorial Law, whose performances brought energy and heart to the day. As the sun began to dip, DJ Scott Topper turned up the fun, getting everyone out on the dance floor for line dancing and lively country favorites.
The excitement soared during the silent and live auctions, where generous bidders competed for unique items and experiences. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, donors, and attendees, this year’s Cars & Cowboys raised more money than ever before, enough to provide thousands of meals and essential services to seniors and families throughout the Santa Ynez Valley.
This success was made possible by the support of our generous sponsors, in-kind contributors, and the dedicated volunteers who poured their hearts into making the day a success.
Cars & Cowboys has quickly become one of the Valley’s most beloved fundraising traditions, blending the thrill of automotive history with the power of community. We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us in making this record-breaking day possible.
Mark your calendars! The Fifth Annual Cars & Cowboys will return on Saturday, September 5, 2026. We can’t wait to welcome you back for more cars, more music, and even greater community impact.
