The Naples Automotive Experience 2024 earlier this month raised nearly $1.7 million to support the work of St. Matthew’s House.
Held Feb. 1-4, the annual events included a Jetport Reception on Feb. 1 at Naples Airport’s Elite Jets Hangar. The next day, a Naples Motorcar Auction was held in partnership with the Saratoga Automobile Museum at Ultimate Garages of Naples.
And Feb. 3, more than 20,000 descended on downtown Naples to attend the Cars on 5th Concours — the largest annual one-day event in Naples. There also was a last-chance auto sale at Ultimate Garages of Naples and Supercar Poker Run on Sunday.
A faith-based charitable organization, St. Matthew’s House provides innovative programs, resources and services that bring hope, help and healing to those experiencing homelessness, hunger, substance abuse, and poverty in Southwest Florida.
“The Naples Automotive Experience has become one of the finest, multi-marquee shows in the U.S and the biggest automobile show on the U.S. East Coast in number of cars and attendees in one day,” said Tom O’Riordan, Ferrari Club of America president, in a news release Thursday.
