Sure, we serve up tacos, fried chicken and pizza — but our true passion lies in giving back to the communities our various restaurants serve. This holiday season, we got to do that in a really special way, donating $95,000 through the Taco Bell Foundation to Alice Cooper’s nonprofit: Solid Rock Teen Centers.

Solid Rock Teen Centers provides after-school education in music, the arts and more to Arizona teens in Phoenix, Mesa and Goodyear, and has done so for 30 years. In November, Alice held his annual benefit concert titled “Christmas Pudding.” Every year, all proceeds from the show go toward the teen centers. For the recent 2025 show, comedians, musicians and even Alice Cooper’s original bandmates came together to give a performance for the ages. We were honored to give back to such a noble (and rocking) cause!

This year’s Christmas Pudding concert raised over $1 million total for Solid Rock Teen Centers.

In a letter from Alice Cooper, he shares that with contributions like ours, “more teens will have the opportunity to pick up a guitar, a paint brush or put on dancing shoes and express themselves in a positive way.” 

We’re so excited that we’ll be able to see the impact of our donation right here in our local community. We want to thank Alice Cooper for his dedication and goodwill — rock on!
