For those of us who love collector cars, the season of giving does not end in December. In fact, it’s still going strong in the heart of Southern California. This summer, the 30th Annual Dana Point Concours d’Elegance will enjoy far more than just the premier celebration of automotive heritage in So Cal. The Concours hopes to raise funds for five area non-profits, including the Carroll Shelby Foundation, South Orange County School of the Arts, Pet Project Foundation, Petersen Automotive Museum and the Art Center College of Design.
The first Concours, originally called the Newport Beach Concours d’Elegance, was started in 1983 by a group of volunteers as a charitable automotive event to celebrate some of the most sought after automobiles. Today, it’s grown to be one of the largest automotive festivals in Southern California and is proud of the charitable contributions it has been able to make because of its volunteers’ hard work, year after year. This makes the Concours weekend both fun and a way to give back to the community.
From rescuing our four-legged friends to offering children an opportunity to explore their passions are some of the goals these charities strive to promote. To access more information about each charity, check out our website with pages devoted to each of the organizations at www.danapointconcours.org/charities. Whether you love animals, like helping kids or passionate about the perseveration of automobiles, you’ll find a charity that touches your heart!
So whether you’re visiting So Cal or a proud resident, make your way to the 30th Annual Dana Point Concours d’Elegance on June 23-24, at the beautiful St. Regis Monarch Beach resort. Not only can you check out the breath-taking scenery of the golf links that lay along the beach, you can also view some of the nicest classic automobiles and vintage motorcycles So Cal has to offer. The best part about it is your ticket purchase of just $30 will go toward the ultimate donation to each of these five non-profits.
