2019 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance Raises $2.1 Million for People in Need

The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and its charitable partners gathered today to celebrate the event’s charitable giving: the 2019 Concours raised $2.1 million for people in need.

Pebble Beach Company CEO Bill Perocchi announced that a total of $2,112,000 is being distributed to local charities this year—an amount equal to last year’s all-time high. Since its founding in 1950, the Concours has now raised more than $29 million in charitable donations.

“The Pebble Beach Concours seeks to celebrate the best cars in the world,” said Concours Chairman Sandra Button. “But the place that is Pebble Beach and the people who live here also play a large part in making this Concours great. So, from its start in 1950, the Concours has done its best to give back to the local community, to help people in need. Car enthusiasts from around the world join with us in this endeavor, channeling their passion for cars into raising money for worthy charities.”

The Pebble Beach Company Foundation is proud to support organizations in our community that strive to improve the quality of life by focusing their efforts on youth and education.

Additional charities that benefit directly from the Concours include Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County, Natividad Foundation, Kinship Center, Montage Health, Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital Foundation, United Way Monterey County and Animal Friends Rescue Project.
