The sixth edition of the Concours in the Hills collector car show staged Feb. 9 by Scuderia Southwest exceeded donations, sponsorship and vehicle registration from previous years.
The event raised more than $155,000 for Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Spectators did not pay to attend but car owners paid a minimum $60 donation, although many donated more.
Scuderia Southwest has pledged to donate $500,000 to Phoenix Children’s Hospital. The last two events have brought the organization more than halfway to its goal.
The number of registered vehicles totaled 941,
from classic American muscle to historic European sports cars.
Five helicopters were on display, including two U.S. Marine Corps attack helicopters that flew in from San Diego for the show.
Twenty-one race cars, among them an Indy car driven by Mario Andretti, were displayed.
Estimated attendance exceeded 20,000 spectators and 108 sponsors.
Peter Volny, Concours founder and marketing and media director at Scuderia Southwest, said “we are a bunch of car lovers and are proud to showcase just how much we have here in Arizona. When it comes to car culture, we are in the driver’s seat. Each year we see new opportunities.”
Scuderia Southwest will return to Fountain Park for the seventh annual Concours in the Hills on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2020.
