Despite the rain, the 2026 Deakota Ingle Memorial Cruise-In was a tremendous success, and the Youth Service Bureau of Jay County (YSB) was incredibly honored to be selected as this year’s beneficiary of the event’s proceeds.

There were some truly impressive vehicles on display, and it was wonderful to see so many people come out to enjoy the evening, support a great cause, and celebrate the memory of Deakota Ingle. Even with Mother Nature providing a little extra challenge, the community’s enthusiasm and generosity certainly didn’t wash away!

Thanks to the incredible support of everyone involved, this year’s event raised more than $1,000 for the YSB. These funds will help us continue our mission of promoting resiliency and assisting children, youth, families, and staff in achieving their greatest potential.

A very special THANK YOU to Brian Taylor for organizing and hosting this wonderful event and for choosing the YSB as this year’s charity beneficiary. We are so grateful for your generosity and commitment to making a difference in our community.

We also want to extend our appreciation to our friends at RU Recovery for their support and involvement, Yergy’s BBQ for generously allowing the event to use their parking lot, and to everyone who brought out a vehicle, attended the cruise-in, made a donation, or simply braved the rain to show their support.

Community support like this means so much to the YSB. Every dollar raised helps us continue providing meaningful services and opportunities to children, youth, and families throughout our community.

Thank you, Brian, RU Recovery, sponsors, the incredible car enthusiasts, and everyone who helped make the 5th Annual Dakota Ingle Memorial Cruise-In a success! We are truly grateful to be part of such a generous and supportive community.
