This year’s 12th annual La Jolla Concours D’Elegance, set for Scripps Park on Friday through Sunday, April 8 through 10, has a new French theme and new charity benefactors. Until now, part of the proceeds from the event, whose theme this year is “French Curves,” have gone to support The Monarch School, in downtown’s East Village, that serves homeless children. Now, according to event organizer and promoter Michael Dorvillier, event participants will be able to donate part of their cost to attend to more deserving groups than ever. “Over the last couple years, we’ve been trying to figure out ways we can do more for charities and nonprofits that support our event,” Dorvillier said, citing La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc., the civic group that oversees Scripps Park development, as a case in point. “We’ve found a creative way to give back to those organizations.” Dorvillier said other groups now benefiting from this year’s event will include the San Diego Air & Space Museum, La Jolla Village Merchants Association and the USS Midway. He said there will be a promotion code for each qualifying nonprofit group that those groups can give out to their supporters who will be attending the Concours. He explained how it works. “They can give that promotion code to friends and families buying tickets on the website,” he said, “and when they use that code, it allows us to give them a discount then turn around and give $10 of that $50 to $60 ticket price back to the charity of their choice.” The title sponsor for this year’s Concours is LPL Financial.
