HAPPY 25th ANNIVERSARY

June 8, 2008

 

EXOTIC SPORTS CAR SHOW AND CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE

 

 By:  Lynn Scott

 

Well, folks, we (all of us) did it again!!  TWENTY-FIVE years is a long time to be committed to an event like the Exotic Sports Car and Concours Car show.  This was one of the largest grossing, and most successful Concours events yet – raising over $91,000.00 with $75,000.00 net, all to benefit the kids of Cerebral Palsy of Colorado. 

There were 365 cars on display this year – with approximately 4,000 spectators attending.  These two figures also deserve an explanation point or two!!  When RMR started this event in 1984 we had no idea that it would grow and prosper like it has.  This is a living example of a group of dedicated enthusiasts committed to a cause which, without all of you, this Silver anniversary would never have happened.

A special thanks to all of you who participated either by preparing and bringing your fine cars, the very special judges, all of the volunteers, and those individuals who came through the gates to appreciate the unbelievable array of very fine automobiles.   

A simple Thank You does not nearly offer the gratitude which is truly felt by those persons who serve on the organizing Committee, and most importantly, those darling children at CP of Colorado.  By the way, in case you’ve not seen the new CP facility, it is well worth the effort to go.  What those wonderful, dedicated people are doing for the children affected with cerebral palsy and other learning disabilities is truly a miracle – and they are angels. 

Once again, we are indebted to all of you who so willingly helped with one of  the most successful concours events ever!  Even though the morning mist (okay – rain!) kept a few of the regulars away, the sky cleared and cars started arriving to make this a very successful car show in every way. 

We wish to give special kudos to “The Committee”, which is comprised of many individuals from the various local car clubs, for their dedication and willingness to volunteer each year (talk about “paying it forward!!!”) – giving back to the community in such a powerful way.  Both givers and receivers benefit greatly from your enthusiasm. 

Another special area of accolades goes to those wonderful corporate sponsors without whom the Concours would not have been the grand success that it was.  This year they contributed over $36,000 to this event.  Please take a moment to review all of the sponsors which are listed in the 2008 Event Program and thank them every chance you get.

Last, but definitely not least, the staff of CP of Colorado who work tirelessly with the Committee to ensure the smooth running and success of this show each year.  This event could not happen without YOU! 

During the award ceremony this year, Special Recognition Awards were given to those individuals and corporations who have demonstrated a significant and long term commitment to the growth and financial success of this event.  Their creativity, dedication, hard work and generosity have been instrumental in achieving a level which can only be described as phenomenal.
