April 29, 2025 - As the Philadelphia Concours d’Elegance continues to expand on its mission to deliver care and support to children and families who struggle with the medical complexities associated with rare genetic diagnoses through its Cool Cars for Kids initiative (https://www.coolcarsforkids.org), the event organizers have decided to postpone the 2025 event.

 

This year’s eighth annual Concours was originally scheduled for June 21-22 at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia, where it has been held since its inaugural event in 2017.

 

“We are proud of the success we’ve achieved in the last seven years of raising funds to support local and national charities, including The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia,” said Ian Krantz, MD, Pediatric Medical Geneticist and CEO of Cool Cars for Kids, Inc. “Due to that success we have outgrown the space available to hold the event at the Simeone. While we regroup and secure a new venue in the Philadelphia area to hold this Concours in 2026, we have decided to sit this year out as we develop an expanded plan for the event next year. We are grateful to the Simeone and everyone who has supported the Concours since 2017. We look forward to working again with our sponsors, judges and car collectors at a new venue in 2026.”
