Car cruise backed by In-N-Out Burger moves to Redondo Beach

"It's called Cruisin' 2 Freedom, and it benefits the Slave 2 Nothing Foundation founded by In-N-Out owner and president Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson and her husband Sean Ellingson to fight substance abuse and human trafficking. The foundation provides funds to grassroots organizations working in communities where In-N-Out does business. It will take place Jan. 17 at Seaside Lagoon in the South Bay city."

"Rock 2 Freedom has frequently been at the House of Blues Anaheim, near Disneyland, where the 2024 headliner was the Goo Goo Dolls. In-N-Out's "family band" .48 Special usually opens for the headliners. It's a large group made up of company associates, including the Ellingsons, and it puts on a flashy show with fire dances and aerial stunts. Slave 2 Nothing's cruises take place in January, which is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. The rock shows take place in October, which is Substance Use Prevention Month."

The annual car cruise called Cruisin' 2 Freedom will move to Redondo Beach on Jan. 17 at Seaside Lagoon. The event benefits the Slave 2 Nothing Foundation founded by In-N-Out owner Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson and her husband Sean Ellingson to fight substance abuse and human trafficking. The foundation funds grassroots organizations in communities where In-N-Out does business. Details and registration notifications are available on the Slave 2 Nothing website. Slave 2 Nothing recently held Rock 2 Freedom at the Hollywood Palladium. Both events have commonly taken place in Orange County in recent years. The Hollywood Palladium show raised $934,700. Restaurants will continue raising funds with donation canisters, and In-N-Out will match contributions three-to-one.
