(November 6, 2026)<\/strong>\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad \u2013 <\/strong>The Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance proudly celebrates a major milestone of surpassing $50 million in total charitable giving, with $27 million coming in the last ten years alone. The 75th celebration of the Pebble Beach Concours this past August helped to reach this milestone, making it the most successful year by charitable donations to date. Yesterday, the Concours held a commemorative luncheon at The Lodge at Pebble Beach, distributing donations to Monterey County not-for-profit and charitable organizations dedicated to improving the health and education of children in the community.<\/p>\n \u201cOver the past 75 years, the Pebble Beach Concours has evolved into the world\u2019s foremost celebration of the automobile,\u201d said David Stivers, CEO of Pebble Beach Company. \u201cThe event\u2019s charitable impact on our community spans well beyond that one week and is a central piece of its identity.\u201d<\/p>\n The Pebble Beach Company Foundation serves as the Concours\u2019 primary charitable partner, providing support in distributing Concours donations to more than 130 of the region\u2019s nonprofits. Through the Foundation\u2019s grant process, funds have been given with special emphasis on providing support to youth in our community.<\/p>\n The charitable funds are raised through a variety of avenues, with direct donations being the largest source, but perhaps most visible to the community are the annual Concours Charity car drawings. This year, Lexus, Lincoln and Mercedes-Benz all donated vehicles. Through their generosity, many charities benefit, including the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County, Montage Health Foundation, MY Museum, Natividad Medical Foundation, Salinas Valley Health Foundation, Seneca Family of Agencies, and United Way Monterey County. In 2026, Monterey Bay Sanctuary Fund was added as a charitable partner.<\/p>\n \u201cI look forward to carrying on and further developing the charitable mission of the event,\u201d stated Vince Finaldi, Pebble Beach Concours Chairman. \u201cOur thanks go out to the many people who have helped to make the Pebble Beach Concours the most charitable car show in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n Chairman Emeritus, Strategic Advisor and Global Brand Ambassador Sandra Button added, \u201cThis charitable milestone is a testament to the generosity of the Concours car community. I\u2019ve been privileged to see firsthand the impact of these dollars on recipient organizations and am confident the momentum of this important work will be continued for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n The Concours, through the Foundation, also supports several educational programs that encourage the next generation of automotive enthusiasts while celebrating inspirational automotive leaders such as Phil Hill, Jules \u201cJ.\u201d and Sally Heumann, John Lamm, Don Williams, and Sandra Button.<\/p>\n The Pebble Beach Concours looks ahead to the 76th competition on August 15, 2027, featuring examples from Delage and Delahaye. Additional marques and classes will be announced in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n For more information on the Pebble Beach Concours or how to donate, visit www.pebblebeachconcours.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n # # #<\/p>\n Notes to Editors<\/strong><\/p>\n About Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance<\/strong><\/p>\n First conducted in 1950, Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance\u00ae (www.pebblebeachconcours.net<\/a>) has grown to be the world\u2019s premier celebration of the automobile.
