Kids 12 and under get in free. And through Saturday, tickets are $5 with code GEARS2026.

Gears for Gaudio is Saturday, October 17, noon to 6, at Blue Ridge Community Church in Forest.

Last March we put on the first one not knowing if anybody would come. Hundreds of you did. You stood in a parking lot for a 19-year-old most of you never met, and you carried our family through a day we didn't know how to get through.

We'd like you to come back.

Classics, muscle, trucks, Jeeps, imports, customs, bikes. Live music, food trucks, bounce houses for the kids, and awards in every class sponsored by Mabry Automotive. Every spectator gets voting tickets at the gate and drops them in the bag at the car they love — People's Choice is decided by whoever shows up.

Every dollar funds scholarships for student-athletes in Central Virginia who live the way Cash did.

Saturday, October 17 · Noon to 6 PM
2361 New London Road, Forest, VA

One week from today, the last day of September, marks two years since my precious son Cash was stolen from me, our family, and everyone who loves him. It feels like forever and yesterday all at once.

Last year, so many of you posted your favorite memories of Cash. I read each one, grateful for your love for Cash, and his impact on so many lives. This year, our family is asking for something different, and I want to explain why.

The week before Christmas 2024, Cash's belongings were returned to us by police. Everything he had with him that day came home individually wrapped in brown paper. The last moments of his life in a cardboard evidence box, plainly packaged. Cash's clothes. His sneakers. His wallet. His keys. His watch. His phone. Every single thing. All still covered in his blood. It was a moment of impossible despair.

Micah and McKenna-Kate unwrapped his phone as we stood at the dining room table, just a few steps from where Cash's life was taken in my driveway. They turned on the phone and it immediately lit up.

The first thing on the screen was Jesus. Head bowed, crown of thorns, blood running down His face.

Everything stopped in that moment. We were anguished, but instantly moved by the powerful reminder of Cash's faith and the assurance that he is in the arms of Jesus.

After Cash was shot, he called me. "Mom, call 911." That day never leaves my mind. I'm thankful that the last image my baby saw on this earth was the image of his Savior and not the evil that took him.

Cash was nineteen. He could have had absolutely anything as his phone screen. He chose Jesus.

In honor of Cash's beautiful life, and his incredible faith, this September 30th, we're asking you to Live Like Cash. Put his screensaver on your phone. When you look at it, think of Cash, and remember the gift of Jesus.

Please share pictures of your screen tag and . I believe Cash would be happy to see Jesus at the Cross being shared in his memory. He cared deeply about others knowing our Savior.

May was a month we'll never forget. 🧡

🎓 Micah and Shannon attended SMLCA's graduation and awarded THREE Live Like Cash Gaudio Scholarships to students who embody Cash's spirit of faith, love, and excellence.

⛳ The sold-out 2nd Annual Swing For Cash Golf Classic was held May 20th — one day before Cash's 21st birthday — at London Downs Golf Club. Team Conely came back to defend their title, but Team Maddox took home the win. Huge thank you to our Title Sponsor Forest Audiology and all 50+ sponsors who made it possible. Without you, there are no scholarships.

🎡 AND we introduced something brand new this year — Spin For Cash! A Charity Prize Drawing. For the first time, the entire community — not just golfers — got to participate and win. Luxury vacations. A $1,500 handbag. A spinning wheel. It was a night to remember.

This fall: Gears for Gaudio is coming in September, plus Orange Outs at LCA and SMLCA. Lord willing. 🙏

Cash's legacy is alive and growing. Thank you for being part of it.
