THE MISSION

​Driving Young America (DYA) supports two segments of the youth population by:
​

ONE:   supporting the education, inspiration and creativity of youth who have an interest in pursuing a future in the automotive, aviation and/or mobility industries.

​TWO:   giving back to the local community by supporting youth programs/organizations that provide significant resources critical to the success of the Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance & Motoring Festival.

THE IMPACT

​Since the Festival's inception, nearly $1,000,000 has been donated between direct grants and scholarships ($650,000) and in-kind contributions towards fundraising efforts (over $300,000).
