Concours dé Graylyn is an annual event held as a fundraiser to benefit The Outrageous Courageous Kids Children's Cancer Support Program at Brenner Children's Hospital. The intent of a Concours is to provide a showing of fine cars as close to original standards as possible. The word Concours is French, meaning "parade". More than a car show, a Concours incorporates art and fashion.
