"We began this event nearly five years ago for two reasons," said Jamie McDonnell, Chairman 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.

Each year the Boca Raton Concours d' Elegance grows, bringing together new supporters, introducing exciting new event components and showcasing even more exotic classic automobiles and motorcycles. This year is no different. The Boca Raton Concours d' Elegance is sharing its five year anniversary spotlight to shine a much deserved light on the 100th Year Anniversary of the first Indianapolis 500 and the opening of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
