Amelia Island,
Hurricane Dorian,
Bahamas
If you plan on attending The Amelia Concours d'Elegance in 2020, buy your ticket now. Why? Simple. For every $125 general admission ticket you buy from now until October 15, The Amelia will donate $50 to relief efforts in the Bahamas.
Unable to attend The Amelia next year? Please consider donating to the Bahama Red Cross.
Read the press release below, and comment.
While Northeast Florida was mostly spared from the wrath of Hurricane Dorian, our friends in the Bahamas were not so fortunate. On September 1 the unthinkable happened, an already slow-moving Category 5 storm stalled over the Bahamas destroying vital infrastructure and leaving tens of thousands homeless. The death toll continues to rise.
Our team discussed ways to help the Bahamian people and we decided that a financial gift would be best.
Our normal "early bird" General Admission ticket price for Sunday's Amelia Concours d'Elegance ticket is $100. We are temporarily raising that amount to $125 and will donate $50 per ticket sold to Bahamas relief efforts.* The Amelia will run this campaign until October 15 and donate $50 for every $125 General Admission ticket sold during that time.
Thank you for your consideration and support.
-The Staff and Board of Directors of The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance Foundation
*$25 of the special $125 ticket price is a donation to The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance Foundation (a 501(c)(3) charitable organization). The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance Foundation will then match each $25 gift for a total donation of $50 to Bahama relief efforts per ticket sold. A donation confirmation letter of $25 per ticket is available upon request.
