In the beginning, Bill Warner, Founder of the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, was asked to create an event that would bring business to the island. Bill agreed with one very strict stipulation; the money they raised at the event would go to charity, and with that a foundation was born. To date over $3-million has been raised to benefit amazing causes like Spina Bifida of Jacksonville, community hospice, Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, and the Fernandina Beach Shop with Cops program for underprivileged children. Learn more about this bucket-list event. | Listen to Full Episode #279
