A Brief Introduction to the Boca Raton Concours d’Elegance

The Boca Concours d’Elegance is a sensational three-day annual car event held in February in Boca Raton, Florida. Each year, the event commences with the Hangar Party on Friday, then the Grand Gala Dinner on Saturday, and finally, the main event on Sunday, where a plethora of illustrious classic cars and motorcycles are displayed and judged on a massive show field at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. 

What’s more, the Boca Concours d’Elegance benefits the Boys and Girls Clubs of Broward County, raising over $10M since its inception.

Fastest growing Concours in the nation! 

The Concours d’Elegance dates back to the 17th-century France, and it means “competition of elegance”. However, the Boca Concours d’Elegance is far younger, celebrating its 14th annual event this year. Over the past 14 years, the Boca Concours has grown exponentially. It is the fastest growing Concours in the nation and the world’s largest for a charity-organized event. This is all thanks to incredibly passionate, generous and altruistic car enthusiasts and various South Florida businesses who have grown a deep affection for the Boca Concours d’Elegance…and, of course, the Boca Concours team and founders, Rick and Rita Case.

Rick & Rita Case

The power couple Rick and Rita Case are immensely successful entrepreneurs and philanthropists. For the past 35 years, they have been an inseparable package, operating as a team to build one of the nation’s largest automotive groups – The Rick Case Automotive Group.

The Rick Case Automotive Group was honored by Automotive News as the National All-Star Dealer. They have 16 dealerships in Florida, Georgia and Ohio, including the world’s largest Honda, Hyundai, Kia and Volkswagen dealerships located in Broward County, Florida. Among all their dealerships, you will find Maserati, Acura, Audi, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Kia, Mazda, FIAT, Alfa Romeo and Honda automobiles & motorcycles.

Some 15 years ago, the wildly prosperous couple set forth to establish a Concours d’Elegance in Boca Raton. Now, Boca Concours is one of the most renowned Concours in the world and their charitable efforts have impacted South Florida in previously unimaginable ways. 

Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County

The Boca Concours d’Elegance has benefited the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County each and every year since its establishment back in 2006.

Through sponsorship and all of the proceeds (tickets, donations, auctions, etc.), the event has raised well over $10 million for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Broward County, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing programs and services to promote and enhance the development of boys and girls in Broward County, Florida. 

All in all, if you want to be a part of automotive history, you need to come to the 14th Annual Boca Concours d’Elegance.
