Indianapolis Cars & Coffee is kicking off its 2026 season, announcing this year’s event lineup in support of Folds of Honor Indiana and its scholarship mission.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Indianapolis Cars & Coffee hosts free, family-friendly events where every car counts – bringing together hundreds of vehicles in a welcoming, community-driven environment, with all makes and models always welcome. Through partnerships with local businesses and mission-aligned organizations, sponsor proceeds benefit Folds of Honor Indiana; in 2025, more than $65,000 was raised in scholarship funds, contributing to over $250,000 raised over the past four years.

2026 Indianapolis Cars & Coffee events will take place from 8 to 11 a.m. on the following dates at various locations:

• Saturday, April 25 at Meridian Mark I and II
• Saturday, May 16 at Fishers Event Center
• Saturday, June 27 at Connection Pointe Christian Church
• Saturday, July 25 at Knowledge Services and The Club Coworking
• Saturday, Aug. 22 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park (8 a.m. to 1 p.m.)
• Saturday, Sept. 19 at Keystone at the Crossing
• Saturday, Oct. 24 at Model 1 Commercial Vehicles and Lakefront at Keystone

“We are looking forward to another great year of partnership with Indianapolis Cars & Coffee,” said Mike Daggett, Folds of Honor Indiana Board President and U.S. Air Force Veteran. “Support from Indianapolis Cars & Coffee goes straight to our scholarship fund, and provides education opportunities for those who otherwise might not be able to afford private tuition or secondary education.

“We’re excited to be back at the same locations that helped create such a strong sense of community last year,” said Drew Yagodnik, Indianapolis Cars & Coffee Board Member. “Seeing familiar faces each month is what makes these events special, and it means even more knowing our sponsors, hosts, volunteers, and attendees are coming together to support Folds of Honor Indiana and the families who benefit from its mission.”

Folds of Honor scholarships are based on unmet need for spouses and children of fallen and disabled service members and first responders, and can cover tuition, fees, on-campus dormitory housing, meal plans and required textbooks. Scholarship recipients are required to maintain a 2.0 or higher grade-point average for the two most recent academic terms. For young children not attending private school or secondary education, Future Use Scholarships are available to use at a later date.

Since its inception in 2007, the national Folds of Honor organization, which includes Indiana’s efforts, has awarded nearly 73,000 scholarships totaling over $340 million to the spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service members and first responders. Folds of Honor Indiana is the local chapter of the national Folds of Honor organization.
