Hosted at the Boca Raton Resort & Club, the event took place February 21-23, 2014 and featured an amazing weekend of philanthropy, comedy and of course, a stellar automobile and motorcycle display all to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County. Founded by Rita and Rick Case of The Rick Case Automotive Group and under the direction of Event Chair Jamie McDonnell, IV along with Honorary Chair Mike Jackson, the Boca Raton Concours grows each year bringing together new supporters, introducing exciting new event components and showcasing even better exotic, classic automobiles and motorcycles, and this year was no different. This year s Concours showcased the history of Mercedes-Benz through the years with a tremendous line-up of memorable vintage automobiles. Rita and Rick Case began this event eight years ago for two reasons, said Jamie McDonnell, Event Chair of the Boca Raton Concours d Elegance. One was to unite car enthusiasts from around the world and two was to support a much deserving charity; the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County. Now, a marvelous eight years later, I am thrilled to say that not only is the Brian, Chloe & Liz Quail with Boys & Girls Clubs members Boca Raton Concours thriving but it has become, in a short eight years, the fastest growing and most charitable Concours in the world.

7 Page 7 Club Members Experience the Thrill of Classic Cars Up Close The 8th Annual Boca Raton Concours d Elegance afforded, for the third year in a row, a select group of members from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County to embark on a journey into the world of Classic Cars. This exciting experience was made possible through Operation Ignite!, the Hagerty Insurance Youth Judging Program. The program was introduced in 2007 and has given kids the opportunity to learn about classic cars. Under the guidance of Hagerty s Youth Advocacy Coordinator, Kyle Smith, our members were designated youth judges. Kyle explained to the kids the importance of the task at hand, while encouraging each child to embrace and enjoy the experience. The kids were very excited and really felt special when they were each given a red hat and blue t-shirt to wear the official uniforms for the youth judges. After a brief orientation the kids were ready to go. With clipboards in hand and pens ready, they were off to learn more about the uniqueness of the cars. Each classic car inspection took them on a historical journey into the unique details, value and care given by the car owner. The kids had the distinct pleasure of meeting several car owners who travel the Concours circuit across the country. The judges were instructed by Kyle to judge the cars based on the following categories; design, interior, electrical, paint and engine. Many of the car owners welcomed the kids and gladly took time to explain the details of their car. There were plenty of questions asked by the kids as well since they were blown away by the experience. Some even commented that the Concours was the best field trip ever! Their winning car was a 1966 Chevrolet Corvair owned by Jim Elliott of Yorktown, Virginia. (pictured right.)
