The Boca Raton Concours d’Elegance Featuring Sky Limo

This past weekend, February 25-27, 2011, Sky Limo was a proud participant at the 5^th Annual Boca Raton Concours d’Elegance. The event was held at the Boca Raton Resort & Club and is a fund raising effort for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County. In addition to the 3-day luxury affair’s annual events, this year’s Concours d’Elegance also honored the 100^th Anniversary of the Indianapolis 500. Jay Leno was this year’s host, and the weekend was successful in raising $3 million for charity.

The Concours d’Elegance kicked off Friday evening at the Boca Raton Airport, with a Hangar party hosted by the DuPont Registry. Sky Limo was represented at the show via their nicest jet, a Gulfstream G200 N35BP. In addition to aircraft, Indy cars, exotic cars, luxury boats, and custom motorcycles were among some of the other features at the DuPont Registry Live. Wine tastings, cocktails, and live entertainment rounded out the first evening of the philanthropic weekend event.

Saturday evening was a gala dinner and auction at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. The auction contained brand new luxury automobiles yet to be seen by the public, available for purchase by the event’s guests. Also, in honor of the Indianapolis 500’s Anniversary, vintage Indy racing cars were also auctioned. Jay Leno hosted the evening, following in the footsteps of past hosts Bill Cosby, Howie Mandel, and Dennis Miller.

The pinnacle of the Concours d’Elegance came Sunday with the collector’s show consisting of over 200 classic automobiles & motorcycles. Automobile aficionado Jay Leno was on hand to present the finest automobile with The Jay Leno Big Dog Garage Award. Car lovers from all over gathered at the Boca Raton Resort & Club to celebrate the heritage and the history of the automobile.

Sky Limo has singularly raised over $35,000 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County, and is enthusiastically involved in the well being of the area’s youth. As Sky Limo owner Tom Conlan explains, “to enhance the lives of our young people and to be a part of helping them reach their full potential, we continue to do as much as we can with the Boys and Girls Clubs—that’s what this is all about.”

Sky Limo Gives Back

At Sky Limo Air Charter, we’re so proud and eager to get involved in charitable events because we believe in helping our community and giving back when we can. That’s why, just recently, we partnered up with The Abaco Club at Winding Bay, a Ritz-Carlton property. Together, we were able to raise $11,000 for a roundtrip, nonstop, private air charter from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to the Bahamas and an accommodations package to benefit the Broward division Humane Society’s Harley Hog Days charity event. The wonderful accommodation package was for four people and included a four-day, three-night stay, two beautiful cabanas, a round of golf for each person, snorkeling, tennis and other fun-filled activities.

This year’s Harley Hog Day event was held at the Coral Ridge Country Club in Fort Lauderdale with a lot of supporters arriving on their bikes, wearing motorcycle garb, even some of the dogs were dressed up in Harley-like gear. It was a fun and successful day. Sky Limo Air Charter plans to continue to make charitable donations in the goals of reaching at least eight to ten contributions a year. Let us know if we can help you with private air charter (for business or pleasure) or if we can help with supporting your charity of choice.

Thanks to the Abaco Club for partnering up with us, the Humane Society for putting on such a great event and helping our four-legged friends and to the wonderful supporters who bought our donation package.
