We are excited to announce the 6th Annual Benedict Castle Concours is only 6 weeks away! This very special car show is tucked away in Riverside, California on Sunday, March 31st, 2019. The Benedict Castle is known as the “Jewel of the Inland Empire”, a unique and historic location where over 100 movies have been filmed including the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Bride of Frankenstein, and Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein, making for a unique and engaging venue.
The Benedict Castle Concours is praised as one of the finest events in Southern California, MUST attend each year. This show is 100% for the benefit of Teen Challenge, the oldest, largest and most successful drug and alcohol recovery program with over 1300 centers worldwide. We put this on for Teen Challenge of Southern California, a , residential program at NO cost to the students. They have over 600 beds in centers from Fresno to San Diego for teens, men women of all ages. We believe there could be no better cause and work hard all year to make this show very special for all who attend and show their vehicles as well as raising over $200,000 each year for Teen Challenge.
