Safe Schools Desert Cities is deeply grateful to Great Autos of Yesteryear for selecting Safe Schools Desert Cities as one of two beneficiaries of the upcoming Casual Concours 2026 event, taking place October 16-18, 2026, in Rancho Mirage.
This beloved annual event brings together automotive enthusiasts from across the region while supporting organizations that strengthen and enrich our community. We are especially honored to be recognized alongside our friends at The LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert.
In announcing this year’s beneficiaries, Great Autos highlighted SSDC’s role in supporting and empowering LGBTQ+ youth in local schools. That recognition means a great deal to our board, volunteers, educators, and community partners who work every day to help create safer, more inclusive learning environments for all students.
We extend our sincere thanks to Great Autos, its members, sponsors, event organizers, and participants for their generosity and commitment to making a positive impact throughout the Coachella Valley.
We are proud to be part of Casual Concours 2026 and look forward to celebrating a wonderful weekend of community, philanthropy, and of course, some truly great automobiles.
Thank you, Great Autos, for investing in LGBTQ+ youth and helping build a safer future for the next generation.
