Keeneland Concours d’Elegance Benefits Kentucky Children’s Hospital

The sixth annual Keeneland Concours d’Elegance will be held July 16-19, 2009. All proceeds benefit Kentucky Children’s Hospital. The classic car show will be held on July 18 at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington. “As always, it is our hope and our goal that the Concours d’Elegance provides everyone with a unique experience—a mix of art, flair, design, sounds and—of course—a cause,” said Tom Jones, event chairman. “There are many reasons to be excited about the 2009 Concours, and we are looking forward to hosting another outstanding weekend in the Bluegrass. It’s a delight to enjoy your passion and be able to do good works for the community, especially the Kentucky Children’s Hospital. The people at Kentucky Children’s Hospital who make that happen day in and day out are the real heroes in this grand scheme of things.”
