An illustrious automotive spectacle, now in its eleventh year, is set to captivate visitors at Fountain Park in Fountain Hills. Taking place on Saturday, February 15th, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Concours in the Hills showcases an impressive lineup of vehicles ranging from classic cars and motorcycles to helicopters and military transports. This unique event aims to support Phoenix Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders as well as the Cardiothoracic Surgery Support Fund.

The founder of this remarkable gathering, Peter Volny, has transformed his love for automobiles into a significant charitable endeavor. A survivor of childhood cancer, Volny leveraged his background in advertising within the auto industry to initiate Concours in the Hills in 2014. Initially featuring 220 cars and attracting 3,000 attendees, the show has since expanded exponentially, boasting over 1,200 vehicles and drawing approximately 50,000 visitors in 2024. Although management transitioned to Phoenix Children’s in 2022, under the leadership of PCH50, the event continues to thrive and grow.

This extraordinary occasion not only highlights various categories such as domestic, imported, race, limited-edition exotic, off-road vehicles, and motorcycles but also includes both civilian and military helicopters. Esteemed car clubs and dealers like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, McLaren, and Corvette will showcase their prized possessions, with some individual vehicles valued at over $10 million. The cumulative value of all displayed vehicles is estimated to reach hundreds of millions of dollars. Admission remains free for spectators, making it accessible to all who wish to experience this grand celebration of motorsports and philanthropy.

Beyond being a visual feast, Concours in the Hills exemplifies the spirit of community and generosity. It brings together enthusiasts from across the globe, fostering a shared commitment to supporting children’s healthcare initiatives. Through this event, the organizers aim to inspire continued dedication and growth, ensuring that future generations can benefit from the compassion and passion embodied by this annual gathering.
