Everything raised goes to Alice Cooper‘s Solid Rock Teen Centers, which run free music, dance, art and vocational programmes for 12 to 20-year-olds.
There are three of them now. The first opened in 2012 at 32nd Street and Thunderbird in Phoenix, the second in Mesa in 2021 with backing from the city, Mesa Schools and a donation from Robert Shippy, and the third in Goodyear last year with support from city leaders and the Norelli Family Foundation.
Cooper and his wife Sheryl founded Solid Rock in the mid-1990s, and started “Christmas Pudding” in 2001 with the specific aim of raising enough to open a building where teenagers could learn music, dance and art somewhere safe. That took eleven years.
The 23rd “Pudding“, held on 15 November 2025, marked Solid Rock’s 30th anniversary and the opening of the Goodyear centre. It also brought the four surviving members of the original Alice Cooper group back onstage together, weeks after The Revenge Of Alice Cooper, their first album together in 52 years.
The event has drawn a long list of performers over the years, among them Johnny Depp, Sammy Hagar, Kiss, Joan Jett, Rob Zombie, Korn, Cheap Trick, Slash, Ace Frehley, Rob Halford, Edgar Winter, Nancy Wilson and Quiet Riot.
Alongside the headline names, the night usually features the Solid Rock Dancers and the winners of Proof Is In The Pudding, the talent contest the charity runs for local musicians.
