It really is a great way to celebrate the occasion and bring the community together for a good cause.'

The Rodeo Drive Concours will benefit the Beverly Hills Police Foundation through the sale of merchandise and water. Proceeds are given to the foundation to help Police families in times of need, offering assistance for everything from emergency flights to life-saving surgeries.
